The Strange Cult Of Santa Muerte


The Grim Reaper as a cross-dresser? In South America Mexico, Saint Death (Santa Muerte) will visit you one day - or so it is believed - and it will come in female form dressed up to the nines.

Take a look at the strange tradition of Saint Death. A pagan mix of the supernatural and black magic or a Catholic saint worthy of veneration?

Gerard, It is not in South America. This celebration is in Central America, in Mexico.

kct, Grerald, the world: Mexico is NOT Central America it is North America. Perhaps you remember NAFTA which stands for (North American Free Trade Agreement).
