             Mother Catherine by Zora Neale Hurston is about a women strong religious belief, they were so strong that it was contagious. She had this sort of power over the people who were believers and those that were not, that they felt that they had to obey her immediately. It was also believed that she had special powers that perform miracles, that healed many people. She was the faith of her believers, she was worshiped by many. " She heals by the laying on of hands, by suggestion and copious doses of castor oil and Epsom salts. She heals in the tent and at great distances. She has blessed the water in the barrels for her followers, but she feels her divinity to such an extent that she blesses the water hydrants at homes of her followers without moving out of her tent." ( page 103.) Mother Catherine shows how she as a woman was creative by making her own worship place with a tent. How she had enough courage to show the world what she believed in not worrying about whether people would believe in her faith, she took that chance. .
