His offerings are carried in the yard each god can be an Osain. The holes in San Lazaro sobisu are for the feathers of the guinea fowl. San Lazaro’s # no 7 but the 17th of [?] December is his festival day. Ugly people symbolize Osain. He committed some infractions against Changó, who then struck him with epilepsy, cutting off an ear, a leg, an eye, etc. So he’s really ugly.
