... that some prisoners in Peru get tattoos of Sarita Colonia for protection? Source: Graziano, Frank (2006). Cultures of Devotion: Folk Saints of Spanish America. Oxford University Press. pp. 146–147. ISBN 978-0-19-029112-9. "If, as in this case, miraculous evasion of the police is unsuccessful, then Sarita follows through by protecting her devotees in prison. Many inmates are tattooed with Sarita's image,"
ALT1: ... that Sarita Colonia became a folk saint after visitors of a common grave gathered around her grave marker? Source: Same as above. p. 144. "Also conducive to the growth of devotion to Sarita was the very nature of the common grave itself. When people came to visit their loved ones who were buried without markers or headstones, they tended to leave flowers at the only identifiable spot, which was Sarita’s cross. Many knelt to pray there. This conglomeration of flowers and gathering of praying people at one place in the cemetery—which is so typical in folk saint devotions—fostered the impression that Sarita was miraculous. Some of those kneeling at the cross to pray for their dead loved ones took the opportunity to say a prayer to Sarita. Others came especially for this purpose. Miracles were granted, news of them circulated, and Sarita’s status as a folk saint gradually was established.
