Anyone know why the band used Christian/Catholic saints in their artwork/merch during the ritual era? Specifically, what was the significance of them using Saint Lucy and Saint Bernadette on their shirts?
I always wondered if they were trying offend religious people or be more edgy than the Satanic metal scene at the time.

At that time, Perry and Casey were into santeria, an afrocuban religion that merges catholic principles with other beliefs. That's the main reason, quoting them.Tyler Durden wrote: ↑Mon Sep 26, 2022 3:10 pmAnyone know why the band used Christian/Catholic saints in their artwork/merch during the ritual era?

I remember that they were into Santeria. I just never really understood the significance of the saints on their t-shirts.parklife03 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 26, 2022 6:29 pm
