Santa Muerte

Santa Muerte, or "Saint Death," is a folk saint venerated primarily in Mexico and among some Latino communities in the United States. She is typically depicted as a skeletal figure in a robe, symbolizing death but also representing protection, healing, and guidance. Many believers turn to Santa Muerte for help in various aspects of life, including love, health, and financial matters. While her worship has roots in pre-Columbian beliefs, it has evolved, blending Catholic elements. Despite controversy and stigma, many view her as a compassionate figure who offers solace and support in challenging times.
