Santa Muerte
A Saint and protector for many, a terrifying figure for others, La Santa Muerte (the Holy Death) is an enigmatic character criticized by the Catholic church and usually connected in public discourse to narcos. The first major and public altar was established in Mexico City in the early 90s. Since then, followers have sprouted all over the world from very different demographics, including drug dealers, LGBTQ communities, and immigrants.
