Question

Folk Christianity in this country has syncretized Catholic saints with deities like Tonāntzin. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this country where Juan Diego, the first Catholic saint indigenous to the Americas, saw the Marian apparition of Guadalupe on Tepeyac Hill.

ANSWER: Mexico [or México; or United States of Mexico; or Estados Unidos de México; reject “United States”]

[10m] LGBTQ ethnic Mexicans may invoke this figure in weddings, despite condemnation of her veneration by the Catholic Church as a possible reflex of the Aztec underworld deity Mictēcacīhuatl (“meek-TAY-ka-SEE-wattle”). This figure also venerated by drug traffickers is often depicted as a scythe-wielding skeletal woman.

ANSWER: Santa Muerte [or Nuestra Señora de la Santa Muerte; or Santísima Muerte; prompt on la Muerte; prompt on Saint Death or Holy Death; reject “San La Muerte”]

ANSWER: owls [or búhos; or screech owls; accept ostriches]
