Product Overview
Mexican folklore intertwines with the drug wars in the legend of Jesús Malverde. He steals from the rich and gives to the poor. He’s worshiped by the poor. And some say Malverde protects narcos like Joaquín Guzmán a.k.a. El Chapo and the Sinaloa Cartel from arrest and death. He is the narcosantón, or the patron saint of drug traffickers. Over time Malverde’s legend as an “angel of the poor.” He’s not the only narco-saint. There’s also Santa Muerte, a female version of the Grim Reaper. Neither are recognized by the Catholic Church but in a time of turmoil for Mexico, followings continue to grow for the “generous bandit” and his counterparts.
Beyond Sinaloa, Malverde is also considered a folk hero and bringer of good luck (or bad, depending on your outlook), in several other locations on the Latin American drug-running route; he has a chapel in both Cali, Colombia and Los Angeles, as well as an unofficial shrine in Colonia Doctores, Mexico City.
Jesus Malverde Prayer: “I call to you Jesus Malverde. Please guide and protect me. Open the doors of opportunity by removing obstacles from my path. Give me courage to overcome my problems and defeat my enemies. Bring justice and balance to my life by bestowing your wisdom upon me. With your powers please give me the strength to fight and win my daily battles. I am ready for your winds of change that bring prosperity to my realm. AMEN.”
