Andrew Chesnut Narrator: Timothy Andrés Pabon Format: mp3 Length: 8 hrs and 14 mins Release date: 10-26-21 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 19 ratings Genres: Anthropology Publisher's Summary: R. Andrew Chesnut offers a fascinating portrayal of Santa Muerte, a skeleton saint whose cult has attracted millions of devotees over the past decade. Although condemned by mainstream churches, this folk saint's supernatural powers appeal to millions of Latin Americans and immigrants in the US. Devotees believe the Bony Lady (as she is affectionately called) to be the fastest and most effective miracle worker, and as such, her statuettes and paraphernalia outsell those of the Virgin of Guadalupe and Saint Jude, two other giants of Mexican religiosity.
