What's New in Orisha Prayers
1.2
August 8, 2026
A candle now burns with you. Open any prayer and you'll find a lit candle at the foot of the page. It stays with you as you read, burning down as you move through the verses — a companion to the candle you light in person, never a replacement for it. Your screen stays awake while you pray, so you can set the phone down. Also in this update: • Time to prepare — feast day reminders now reach you three days ahead, not just on the morning of, so there's time to buy the offerings and cook. You can turn this off in Settings. • Text size — tap "A" in any prayer to move between three reading sizes, in Lucumí, phonetic, or English. • Share a prayer — send an Oriki, a rezo or a feast day to someone who needs it. • Orisha profiles — Eleggua, Ogún, Obatalá, Yemayá, Oshún, Shangó, Oyá and Babalú Ayé now each carry their own salute, caminos, offerings and syncretism. Where a profile is still being written, we say so plainly rather than fill it with another Orisha's material. Caminos and offerings vary between houses — your elders' word governs over anything here. Maferefún.
