The Great Secret of Holy Death - стр. 6

Amongst the most frequent prayer requests made to the Holy Death is that of keeping the fidelity of the couple. There is a legend saying that the Holy Death was a woman who lived in Pre-Hispanic times and was deceived by her husband. The pain she felt when she saw her husband in the arms of another woman was such that she committed suicide. When God saw her suffering, he made her the patron saint of marriages. This is why she is now the protector of marital union, and she can do a lot of harm to an unfaithful husband, if his wife asks for it. For these same reasons, people ask the Holy Death for help so that one person feels attraction to another and they get married.

As the Señora de la Noche (Lady of the Night), she has a special preference for people who work once the Sun has set because of the dangers they are exposed. She helps taxi drivers, mariachis, bartenders, police officers, soldiers, waitresses, prostitutes, etc. She is the patroness and the defender against assaults, road killings, wounds by firearms, and against all types of violent death. It has been reported that she has prevented the death of devotees involved in road accidents.

You may also ask her for things that you would not dare to ask other saints, for example: the death of your enemy, rival or unfaithful partner; damage to the properties of those who feel envious or resentment, or make that all evil they have sent towards us turns against them. She is considered a righteous entity, since she does not grant whims, but gives everybody what they deserve. Therefore, her devotees are asked to live a righteous life and fulfil the promises they make to the Most Holy.

To answer this question you are going to understand me very easily. Almost all of us come from religions that threaten or suggest that things will go wrong if we act or think badly.

At some point in our lives, we have all been angry, we have all screamed or we have all said something in a moment of heat. This is part of human nature.

What difference is there with the cult of the Santisima Muerte (the Most Holy Death), La Nina Bonita (the Pretty Girl), La Flaca (the Skinny), La Flaquita (the Skinny Lady), La Santa Patrona (the Patron Saint), la Catrina…?

Well, you can ask for anything and we all, basically, deserve to have the same help without any difference, without judging our past, or what we have done; you must only look forward: it does not matter if you are a peasant or a king.

We all have a common moment in our lives in which we know we must cross the line without the certainty of knowing where we are going.

If all our material possessions were taken away and we were told that we had to go, that the hour of our death had arrived… the first thing we would do would be to take care of our loved ones, and we would put everything in order in one way or another. But, what none of us would forget then, is that the most important thing is to have a good death, a peaceful death and with no pain.

Since the Most Holy Death helps and protects everyone she has been wrongly labelled, for a short time, as something negative.
