Jesús Malverde

Jesús Malverde is a legendary folk figure in Mexican culture, considered a "saint" by many, especially within the drug trafficking community. Born in the late 19th century, he is believed to have been a Robin Hood-like figure who helped the poor and oppressed. Over time, Malverde became associated with protection and good fortune, despite his mythic status. Though not officially recognized by the Catholic Church, he is venerated at shrines, particularly in Sinaloa, where people seek his aid for safety and success. His image is often seen in jewelry, altars, and tattoos as a symbol of hope and resilience.
