In the central street Doctor Vertiz, in Mexico City, the figures of a man and a woman are taught at an altar of glass on the sidewalk. She is wrapped in a nice blue and green mantle beneath a silver crown holding the bare skull of a skeleton. He has short hair, mustache and a shiny white shirt gold buttons where silkscreened two pistols. In his shirt pocket a wad of dollars stands. Behind such strange altar reads: Chapel of Santa Muerte and Jesus Malverde.
The grim figure it need not be filed; He is a man who they say stole from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the rich to give money to the poor. His legend is full of heroics that there is no evidence they are real.
Robin Hood was engaged Mexican assaulting wealthy people at the top of Culiacan and gave the proceeds to the needy until the governor, Francisco Cañedo, compadre of the dictator Porfirio Diaz, He began a hunt with his men until he managed to strike him down. His death has been fictionalized in many ways, but the most accepted in the narco culture is that he was shot and when he knew he was dying he asked a colleague to hand him, reward and charged money distributed among those in need that he cared.

Malverde is the great saint of the narcos and the popular belief says that protects them from a clash of two big capos in the early 70. His cult is part of that Mexican syncretism in which they pray novenas and altars are made where they share space bandit, San Judas Tadeo and Santa Muerte.
It is an apocryphal saint, rejected by the Church, which has a legion of followers in Mexico, where it possesses various physical shrines. It also has altars in Los Angeles, U.S., and Cali, Colombia. In social networks has also diverse and highly participatory virtual chapels where the faithful go up some pictures of guns blessed by the saint estampita.

"The Holy Death is a cult of drug dealers and murderers. It is made ad hoc, as I do not want to kill me I ask death not take me. Malverde is a character invented, that never existed, fruit of three different stories. They were very smart to create and give the face of the famous actor Pedro Infante. It is the cult of drug dealers and murderers too ", El Mundo says Father Aguilar, deputy director of radio and television archbishopric of Mexico.
"Jesus Malverde, Cuídame which behaves well, but also take care of me my naughty people…. because just we come and be who we need you and believe in you ", asked one of his followers to this Mexican saint who has own prayer prayers. He and the Santa Muerte are protecting the narco esotericism that is mixed with religion. In the historic church of San Hipolito, in Mexico City, at the end of the last decade, a figure of Malverde placed next to the St. Jude was object of worship for hundreds of people until retired from the altar.
