History of the White Death
The Saint of the White Death is an object of worship in the land of the Aztecs, also known as the “White Girl”. She is a figure criticised by Christianity for being given the title of “Saint”, as she does not meet the requirements to be considered as such.
The vast majority of people who worship the saint of the White Death are involved in prostitution, drug trafficking, organised crime or piracy.
The origins of the White Death are syncretic, bringing together different elements of the pre-Hispanic and colonial world, the Mayan world and the Catholic Church:
-The white holy death appears in the underworld of Xibalbá as a skeleton with the face of an owl, adorned with bells.
-Mictlantecuhtli and Mictecacihuatl, as gods of death, represent the White Death in the Mictlan, the world of death.
-The Holy White Death is worshipped on 2 November each year, although the festival usually begins the day before.
-The Bible describes Death as one of the horsemen of the Apocalypse.
-The figure of the Holy Death has existed since Hellenic mythological culture, with the representation of the skeleton with the black blanket.
For the Mexicans, the White Death is another Marian invocation, as much celebrated as their central patron saint, the Virgin of Guadalupe. According to anthropologists, the figure of the Holy Death is thought to be female.
For their part, the indigenous people began to worship the Holy White Death in 1795, when they began to worship the skulls they found in the villages of central Mexico. In Catemaco, in the state of Veracruz, legend has it that a man saw the figure of the Holy White Death on the planks of his ranch.
The man went to ask the priest of the region to sanctify the image, but the priest flatly refused, considering the request to be a satanic rite; something that still inspires fear today.
The cult of the White Saint of Death in Hidalgo dates back to 1695, especially for those who live in daily danger; moreover, the inhabitants of the city seek her intercession to improve their health, to obtain protection and even to ask for a person who has been kidnapped.
The White Saint Death, when she is female, wears a golden crown on her head, while the male one is much more sinister, holding a rosary. In reality, the White Saint Death represents well-being, purity and consolation for those who take refuge in her.
The white holy death allows to keep away all the feelings of envy, the negative energies that reign in the house, the fights and quarrels in the house. This figure helps to maintain balance in all the senses.
