Is it common to find coffins of plastic figures in Mexican churches?

Question

I recently visited two churches in Mexico and both had a coffin in open view with a plastic-looking figure lying inside. I've never seen that before in the U.S., but maybe it's common in Mexico. Just wondering. Gracias a todo.

Answer 1

Nothing about two jesus, she meant that the plastic figures represents those saints, actually ive seen a few churches with those. There's a lot of meaninful traditions in many catholic churches.

Answer 2

LOL WTF?

Answer 3

Plastic figure?  Are you sure it wasn't a corpse for viewing?  Or possibly a statue - in effigy of some famous person?

Answer 4

They are not in EVERY church...and the "plastic people" serve as motives...another note to that is that they are not the same people, they are different saints that churches have a stronger faith in.

y de nada :) si tienes otra pregunta me dices...
