Azaka, affectionately known as Zaka, is the patron of agriculture and a good-natured man of the mountains. He is considered family and addressed most often as 'Papa' or 'Cousin.' Zaka's garb is that of a peasant farmer: sturdy blue denim and a straw hat. A tasseled raffia bag and a pipe are his most prominent trademarks. The image of St. Isidore is easily understood as a version of 'Cousin' Zaka.
