As Mexico's drug-related violence continues, some are finding comfort in spirituality.

It is a mainly Catholic nation, but as Al Jazeera's Franc Contreras reports from Mexico City, many are turning to religious figures rooted in Mexico's indigenous past.

One alternative is the saint of death, also known as Santa Muerte.
