The Santa Muerte is a deep-seated belief in an ancient saint of death. Legend has it that it the middle ages during the plagues, crematorium were used to dispose of the dead bodies. A woman the, “Saint of Death,” would prepare the corpses for the incineration and attach a red scarf to the corpses.
The Santa Muerte is the female grim reaper- sort of satanic cult about violence and death….the Mexican death cult. The followers bring offerings of tequilla or food. They seek protection from enemies, sexual prowess or fulfillment of your darkest desires, problems with the law, finding a job, and maybe a silent death. Many criminals, the Mexican underworld and the disenfranchised poor look to the Santa Muerte for leadership and protection.
Recently in Nuevo Laredo, a rough border town, the Mexican Army dismantled 30 shrines to the Santa Muerte. The objective being to prevent it from becoming a role model for youth or young children.
The Santa Muerte is a widespread cult and is not likely easily supported by the Mexican Government.
