The Great Zimbabwe's religon made them a very unified nation. They believed in a supreme leader (Mwari) which was their form of Christianity's God. They would pray to Mwari and believed that he would answer their prayers and come in time of need. Mwari was the largest part of their religion, they made many shrines and temples to show how greatful they were to their leader. They also had the idea that family members where sacred to you. When one passed away, it was your duty to take control of the skills that they possessed. They also thought that when you did go to the afterlife, you'd only be with your family. This idea brought families to really cherish each other and not take each other for granted. They also found caves to be very sacred, they believed that was where the spirits would go after they had died. Many marriages and cerimonies took place in caves, it was supposed to give you good luck and good fortune through your marriage.
