Christianity has a dominant role in modern Igboland because of Western Influence.

Some people believe that there is one creator, God. (also known as Chineke or Chukwu)

They believe he can be reached through Amadioha, the god of thunder.

They also believe that they are protected by their ancestors.

Some make shrines to their ancestors because they believe that they are responsible for their children, health, crops, weather, etc.

Catholic and Protestant churches can be found in Enugu.

Christmas is an important holiday celebrated because it is a time when families return to their true homes in the village. Easter and Mothers Day are also important holidays, but not as significant as Easter.
