Saint Death

Saint Death, or Santa Muerte, is a folk religious figure primarily venerated in Mexico and among Mexican communities around the world. Often depicted as a female skeleton cloaked in robes, she symbolizes death and the afterlife. Unlike traditional saints, she is associated with protection, healing, and safe passage to the afterlife. Many followers seek her blessings for various life challenges, as she embodies a nonjudgmental acceptance of death and the struggles of life. Santa Muerte has gained popularity due to her accessibility and the comfort she provides to those facing hardship, transcending conventional religious boundaries.
