Uman-ague and Ugbugbe are two different kinds of crosses. Uman-ague refers to the equal-armed or Maltese cross, and Ugbugbe is used to describe the Christian cross, which has a longer vertical axis. Uman-ague is a symbol associated with the Holy Aro Osa Church. According to oral tradition, the Uman-ague can be given to a chief who has passed through the Ague fast or who has been in the team that went to Ẹguae-Oghene, which is located a journey of about six hundred days away from Benin City, although the exact location is not known today. Upon reaching Ẹguae-Oghene, the team would have to meet the Oghene, a religious leader. However, the Oghene cannot be met face to face and stays behind a curtain when meeting with visitors. He can only reveal his big toe, which is red, to prove his existence. When the chief returns to Benin, he is answerable to only the Ọba and no other.
