In Yorůbá mythology, Olorun is the Sky Father (though occasionally androgynous or female), and a god of peace, purity and harmony. He is strongly associated with the colorwhite, and controls everything that is white, such as bones, the brain, and clouds. He is the father of Odudua and Obatala.
Olorun is the sky god of the Yoruba, that is, he is deified firmament, or personal sky.
Olorun in the Yoruba terminology refers to the Supreme Being and Eledaa refers to “He who controls rain” while Olodumare is "Replenisher of brooks".
Far from Olorun being a distant conception to the people, the average Yoruba uses the name, often in proverbs, in prayers and wishes, in promises, in planning for the future, in attempts to clear himself of accusations, in reminding his opponent of his duty to speak the truth, and the like.
Olorun ni iye ati ohun gbogbo ti oro mo iye, gege bi iwosan, igbala, ayo, Alafia, ati igbadun, eleyi ti o je ti emi ati iye ati iye ati ara Kristi, ara eniti iwo ise, Jesu wipe emi wa ki iwo ki o le ni iye.
Oro Olorun di ara a si je okan pelu oro na, gege bi ara kan pelu Kristi ko si aisan ninu Olorun, nipa ina re ni a mu wa larada.
