In this February 26, 2017 photo, devotees of the Death Saint or “Santa Muerte” pray during a service at Mercy Church on the edge of Mexico City's Tepito neighborhood. As Señora de la Noche or Lady of the Night, Santa Muerte is often invoked by those exposed to the dangers of working at night, such as taxi drivers, bar owners, police, soldiers, and prostitutes.
