La Santa Muerte ceremony in Guadalajara
.
Devotees of Saint Death, or
‘La Santa Muerte’, a cult worshipping
the skeletal figure of death, pray
during a ceremony in Guadalajara,
México, Friday Aug. 22, 2008.
Death is commonly honored
as a part of life in Mexican culture,
such as during November’s
Day of the Dead celebrations,
and does not have the same
morbid stigma as in
other societies.
