JESUS MALVERDE: You might know the Robin Hood-like bandit from a Season

2 episode of “Breaking Bad,” when DEA agent Hank laughs at the notion of drug dealers praying to the saint. But indeed they do, as Malverde — who was allegedly killed by police in 1909 — has become the patron of outlaws, especially in his home state of Sinaloa, Mexico.

SAN SIMON OR MAXIMON :Withhis dapper suit and perfectly groomed mustache, the Guatemalan folk hero and

Mayan deity (right) bears a strong resemblance to

Jesus Malverde. According to legend, he fought against the Spanish and was hired by fishermen to protect the virtue of their wives — although he ended up seducing all of them. He is the patron saint of the underworld in Guatemala. SANTA MUERTE: Unlike most of the other folk saints revered by cartels and gangs, Santa Muerte — also known as Holy Death — is not based upon a real person. Murders are committed in her name. NIÑO DE ATOCHA :The Holy Infant of Atocha (left), who has roots in 13th-century Spain, is the patron saint of prisoners and travelers — and popular among drug traffickers. Medellin cartel leader Pablo Escobar had altars in many of his safe houses dedicated to Niño.

SAN RAMON: In 12th-century Spain, San Ramon (below) was ripped from his mother’s womb after she died in childbirth. He later entered the priestly order whose members dedicated their lives to freeing Christian captives imprisoned by Muslim

conquerors in North Africa.

When he could not buy their freedom, he offered himself in exchange in order to preach the Christian gospel. But his Muslim captors placed a padlock on his mouth so that he could not speak. Drug traffickers often place a coin on the face of his effigy when they pray to him to keep people quiet.

ST. JUDE: One of the original 12 apostles of Jesus Christ, he is particularly popular among drug traffickers who experts say pray to him “when they are

driving a load of dope down a highway.”
