Worshipping the Lady Holy Death

In Mexico you might see people praying to a figure of a skeleton. It's a saint who's part of Mexican folk tradition, and the embodiment of death. Outlook's Clayton Conn went to Mexico's capital, to meet a woman who devotes herself to 'Lady Holy Death' and looking after her shrine.
