The upper Mazaruni River and the Pacaraima Mountains cover the area where the religion has adherents. Services are conducted in Arecuna, Patamona, Waiwai and Makushi language. Music and dance are also an important aspects of Alleluia, using instruments that pre-date European arrival. Communicative worship practices engage the "spiritual being as a vessel" to serve the purpose of "a solemn worship to the supreme father in heaven". A key concept in Alleluia is akwa, meaning "light, brightness or life", symbolized by the sun and as an abstraction of God's place. Akwalu describes the concept of spirit, in contrast to akwalupƶ which is the lack of spirit, or something "dead, cast-off, gone or past". (en)
