Umbanda Sagrada, which translates to "Sacred Umbanda," is a spiritual movement that emerged in Brazil in the 1920s. It was founded by Zélio de Moraes, a medium and spiritual leader who claimed to have received guidance from spirits to create a new spiritual path that would integrate elements of African, indigenous, and European traditions. Umbanda Sagrada is characterized by its emphasis on spiritual evolution, mediumship, and the worship of a supreme being known as "Pai Deus" (Father God).
