In Vodou Maman Brigitte (Grann Brigitte Manman Manman Brigit Manman Brijit) is a death loa the wife of Baron Samedi. She drinks rum infused with hot peppers and is symbolized by a black rooster. Like Baron and the Ghede she uses obscenities. She protects gravestones in cemeteries if they are properly marked with a cross.A New World loa Maman Brigitte is syncretized with the Irish Saint Brigid who is associated with fire.
