Arely Gonzalez has built what she believes to be New York's largest shrine to La Santa Muerte, the Holy Death. Since devoting herself to the skeletal saint, Gonzalez, who is an immigrant and transsexual, has seen her life transformed. The Catholic Church condemns La Santa Muerte, also known as La Flaca, the Skinny Lady, but in the past ten years her popularity has exploded among those living on Mexico's margins: the poor, drug runners, prostitutes, prisoners. Now, Sante Muerte has crossed into the U.S. In Mexico, Arely Gonzalez suffered discrimination and was kicked out of Catholic churches. In the U.S., she has become a leader among Santa Muerte devotees, regularly opening her doors to anyone who wishes to seek her saint's protection and comfort.
