Santa Muerte/Santismo Muerte Gallery – Holy Death – Saint Death

A hybrid of the Grim Reaper and the Aztec goddess Mictecacihuatl, queen of a realm of the dead, Santisima Muerte is a sacred figure in Mexico, not just a protector of drug dealers, murderers and thieves, but as pointed out by the owner of Starling Books of New Orleans, she also is a protector of abused wives, the poor and people with no voice.
