A friend helps as Victoria Moreno, 43, struggles to arrive on her knees to the altar of the “Santa Muerte”, or Death Saint, a pledge Moreno had made when asking the saint to help save her daughter who was suffering from appendicitis, in Mexico City's Tepito neighborhood, Monday, June 1, 2020. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, thousands of devotees, few wearing face masks amidst the dense crowd, made the monthly pilgrimage Monday to pray or give thanks to Santa Muerte, one of several unofficial folk saints worshipped in Mexico.
