MEXICO-RELIGION-HOLY DEATH
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY LETICIA PINEDA - Martin George, priest of the "Holy Death" cult, prays in a shrine in the Municipality of Chalco, 40 km east of Mexico City, on February 3, 2011. The cult of this pseudo-religious skeletal image, also known as 'La Santisima', 'Dona Sebastiana', 'Little White Girl' or 'The Skinny Girl', is thought to date back to pre-Columbian times and currently has some two million faithfuls in Mexico. Every month thousands of devotees attend different shrines to make offerings and ask for petitions. AFP PHOTO/Luis Acosta
