The Santa Muerte tradition in Mexico is a folk religious practice centered around the veneration of a skeletal figure, often depicted as a robed woman. Known as the "Bony Lady" or "Holy Death," Santa Muerte is a syncretic figure combining Catholic and indigenous elements. Followers seek her protection and guidance in various aspects of life, including love, health, and fortune. While controversial and rejected by the Catholic Church, Santa Muerte has a dedicated following, particularly among marginalized communities.
