Casa De Oracion De La Santisima Muerte

Of all the places of worship we visited yesterday for Santa Muerte, this was the most like a church. It was a relatively large space with folding chairs laid out to look upon the larger statues at the altar in the back of the room. It was also fairly smokey from all the incense.
Beside the altar was a poster for «Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones.» I haven’t seen the film, but I’ve heard there’s a bit of Santa Muerte in it, though I’m not sure how much. For me, it was just strange to see a movie poster up there, on par with a «Passion of the Christ» banner placed beside a crucifix or monstrance in a Catholic Church.
Around the room there were several smaller shrines set up for Santa Muerte. It was mostly quiet with a few people seated in the folding chair section staring forward, lost in their thoughts. There were various doors to smaller rooms for psychics. One was seeing a woman with an occasionally crying baby.
There’s a private lot, but parking’s kind of hectic. Some of the spots have traffic cones and it was pretty competitive for spots.
