La Santa Muerte: A Reflection of Violence in Mexico
La Santa Muerte, a female death deity, has gained immense popularity since her public shrine appeared in 2001.
Initially, her image was met with a mix of fear and reverence, as seen when a life-size skeleton dressed like the Grim Reaper first appeared on a street altar in Tepito, Mexico City.

La Santa Muerte personifies death itself, often depicted holding a scythe or globe, and has become a frequent sight in public ceremonies such as the Day of the Dead.
Her popularity has steadily spread across Mexico, the Americas, Europe, and beyond, with her image being both unthinkable and magnetic.
