点评:Our group went to the Temple of the Pythons in Quidah, Benin. The Temple was small but the history of the voodoo religion in Benin is one that believes the python to be powerful and provides protection to their believers. They are not dangerous.
As we entered the temple we were asked if we wanted to hold the pythons. Before you could hold the pythons you had to wash your hands with water that the handlers provided. Those that wanted to go inside the compound, where the 50 pythons were housed you would have to remove your shoes to enter. Inside there were pythons clustered on the ground. Once you left the compound, the gift shop was close by the exit. The gift shop had alot of wonderful objects to purchase.
As we exited the temple you could see the Basilica of Quidah directly across the street from the Temple of the Pythons. The Catholic church did not believe in the practicing of Voodoo, but they both seemed to live together in the same historic site.
翻译:我们一行人去了贝宁奎达的蟒蛇神庙。这座神庙很小,但贝宁的伏都教历史悠久,人们相信蟒蛇力量强大,能为信徒提供保护。它们并不危险。
我们进入神庙时,有人问我们是否想抱蟒蛇。在抱蟒蛇之前,你必须用饲养员提供的水洗手。那些想进入饲养着 50 条蟒蛇的院落的人必须脱鞋才能进入。里面的地上聚集着蟒蛇。离开院落后,礼品店就在出口附近。礼品店里有很多精美的物品可以购买。
我们离开神庙时,可以看到奎达大教堂就在蟒蛇神庙对面。天主教会不相信巫毒教,但他们似乎都生活在同一个历史遗迹里。
