According Pierre Fatumbi Verger, a french born photographer, who after knows Brazil becomed a babalorisha (yes, a candomble priest), The eres are the free spirits of dead child who like to play with the alive people, making the things desapear, for exemple. The eres are very respected in candombleh, because they are less fear spirits, very lovely, kind and amiable also. They call people as 'mother' and 'father', when they are on the earth. In the umbanda, they are called just 'children', and have their party at september 27th, when is the day of Damien and Cosm, catholic saints.
