The Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove, located in Osogbo, Nigeria, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a significant cultural and spiritual hub for the Yoruba people. This dense forest is dedicated to Osun, the Yoruba goddess of fertility and one of the pantheon of Yoruba deities. The grove is home to numerous shrines, sculptures, and art pieces created by the renowned artist Suzanne Wenger and her followers, known as the New Sacred Art movement. The annual Osun-Osogbo Festival, held in August, attracts thousands of visitors and devotees who partake in rituals and ceremonies to honor the goddess and seek her blessings.
