She also launched her own "Breaking Bad" limo tours this year with a driver dressed as Walter White. The store supplied some of its "meth candy" to be used as a prop for the blue crystal meth on the TV hit series "Breaking Bad. A pastry shop called the Rebel Donut has among its specialties "Blue Sky" Breaking Bad doughnuts, pieces decorated with blue rock candy. During the chilling opening scene of the show's third season, a pair of cartel assassins is shown crawling to the saint's shrine in Mexico to request some divine help.
The Legislature also passed what has been labeled the "Breaking Bad" bill this year that provides tax breaks to TV shows that film in New Mexico. Still, tourism officials and business owners are quick to point out that they are walking a fine line in trying not to promote the dark themes from "Breaking Bad.
Ball said the show doesn't glorify the drug war but rather educates the public on its dangers. Yes, it's dark," said Ball. The show's themes prompted Miguel Jaramillo, 28, and Kim Shay, 38, both of Albuquerque, to take their own tour of the "Breaking Bad" sites around town during a recent afternoon.
While at the Crossroads Motel, known on the show as a den for meth use and prostitution, Jaramillo took photos with a smartphone and uploaded them to his Instagram account. In a day's time, the pair had visited more than six sites and planned on seeing more. Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.

They are visiting a shrine of Santa Muerte Saint Death. Traditionally, a worshiper would crawl on his knees on his way to visit the shrine. How this relates to the episode as a whole is open for speculation, though what makes the most sense to me is that the brothers were hoping God would protect them in their mission to cross the border into the United States to kill Heisenberg.
My thoughts are that many of the customs of "worship" if you will, of the indigenous people of Mexico where commingled with Catholicism as the country was conquered by Spain. At the time of Cortez, Catholicism was a welcome and natural fit for these people after undergoing centuries of human and blood sacrifice.
Blood made their world go round, if you will. For Catholism it's all about the Eucharist, or "Body" of Christ. Part of the Eucharist as well is the "Blood" of Christ. Mexico's indigenous people, at the time, embraced this conversion favorably, since it contained a common theme of "Sacrifice". And certainly a much preferred way of worship Many indigenous customs, however, were blended with Catholicism.
Part of why Mexico has such a violent and fascinating history. Skulls still represent death in Mexico, but there are far worse things than death to Mexicans. I have to say, Tuco's cousins are some scary and intimidating fellows In Chimayo New Mexico there is a similar shrine called El Santurio in which thousands of Catholics have made a pilgrimage of suffering as a show of faith in return for their prayer to be answered.
Usually one's prayers are for someone sick, or off to war. Every Easter on Good Friday thousands make their pilgrimage of faith. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
