Definition of "Bondye"

As among the Yoruba, Vodouisants must also recognize Bondye as the first and the last.

2000, Leslie G. Desmangles, The Faces of the Gods, page 162

According to the Vodou worldview, Bondye created the world—and then, after finishing with his labors, he turned things over to the angels, saints, and lwa.

As is the case in much of the African tradition, Bondye is not the object of any direct cult or worship.
