The Cult of Holy Death

Holy Death, is a Mexican cult, which has always been mired in controversy since the first worshipers of the Holy Death, came from the world of drug trafficking and marginal areas of Mexico. But now the Cult of Santa Muerte has spread across all social levels and managed to cross the borders of Mexico, but extends to other countries.

The Santa Muerte is make offerings, like any saint is venerated and put altars in homes.

Being a cult and not a religion (although there have been attempts to make it a religion), there are certain rituals and individual believers makes his prayers and devotions to individual or local level, as there are some temples in neighborhoods which worships the Holy Death, and create their own prayers and ceremonies.

In shops and markets you can buy books, candles, pictures, ritual kits, etc..
