On this episode of come Pray with me I interview artist, writer, and devotee Luna Eclypse. She will be teaching us about Santa Muerte, a figure from Mexican folk Catholicism. Meaning “saintly death”, Santa Muerte is a shrouded figure with a scythe and a skeleton face, similar to that of the grim reaper. Over the years, Santa Muerte has gained a following across all borders, surpassing cultural differences and ways of life. This has also caused controversy, since she is not viewed as an official saint by the Catholic Church. Today we will be learning of her origins and separating the sensationalized from the truth.
