Mexican Folk Saints
Mexican Folk Saints are revered figures in Mexican culture, often representing a blend of indigenous beliefs and Catholicism. These saints, such as Santa Muerte and El Niño Fidencio, are not officially recognized by the Catholic Church but hold significant spiritual importance for many people. They are often invoked for protection, healing, and guidance in daily life.
Devotees of Mexican Folk Saints typically create altars adorned with candles, flowers, and offerings to honor these figures. The practice reflects a deep connection to community, tradition, and personal faith, showcasing the rich tapestry of Mexican spirituality and cultural identity.
