Espinazo, March 2009 -. Twice a year, the faithful come to Espinazo, a small dusty village in Northeast Mexico, that is the birthplace of Niño Fidencio, one of the country’s most revered healers. Although he died in the 1940’s, woshipers believe that certain priests , known as materias, can channel his healing gifts. On his birth and death days, tens of thousands give thanks at his gravesite and seek healing in the local mudbaths.
