Relios from European saints were brought to New Spain as an important part of Church policy in the region in the 1st century after the Spanish Conquest. Nevertheless, relios were always in short supply. To cope with the problem, the religious orders wrapped their significance with ritual forms which became widespread and increasingly complex and extreme in the period known as «The Mexican Baroque» -to the point of bearing resemblance to rituals of the same type in Mediaeval Europe. The study shows that there is only one humankind. Befare death -either abstract or concrete- people behave everywhere in similar forros, some allowed, some persecuted. It all depends on who is in power and what in the historical time and place.
