While Michaelangelo’s work is housed in Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome, in Santa Muerte’s iconography this image makes it’s way to the street-side shrines and sanctuaries where her devotees foster the faith of the outsider. Santa Muerte Piadosa, represents for her followers that unquestionable quality of death, that it accepts all into its arms. More these images continue to hold the original intention of Michelangelo’s sculpture, that just as Death accepts all – so too those who are at peace with the natural order accept everything that death brings.
