'''[[Santa Muerte]]''' is a female deity and folk [[saint]] in Mexican folk [[Christianity|Catholicism]] and [[Paganism|Neopaganism]]. A personification of death, she is associated with healing, protection, and safe delivery to the afterlife by her devotees. Despite condemnation by the Catholic Church, and more recently Evangelical pastors, her cult has become increasingly prominent since the turn of the 21st century.
'''[[Candomblé]]''' is an [[African diaspora religion]] that developed in Brazil during the 19th century. It arose through a process of syncretism between several of the traditional religions of West and Central Africa, especially those of the Yoruba, Bantu, and Gbe, coupled with influences from [[Christianity|Roman Catholicism]].


Her present day following was first reported in Mexico by American anthropologists in the 1940s and was an [[occult]] practice until the early 2000s. According to R. Andrew Chesnut, Ph.D. in Latin American history and professor of religious studies, Santa Muerte is at the center of the single fastest-growing new religious movement in the world.
Candomblé arose in 19th-century Brazil, where the imported traditional African religions of enslaved West Africans had to adapt to a slave colony in which [[Christianity|Roman Catholicism]] was the official religion. It is thus one of several religions that emerged in the Americas through the interaction of West African and Roman Catholic traditions, and for this reason is considered a "sister religion" of [[voodoo|Haitian Vodou]].
