The monarch butterfly migration across the continent provides an invaluable service, essential for many ecosystems to thrive. It is thanks to these pollinators, as well as bees and other insects, that we have many of the flowers and nutritious foods that sustain us.
Canonized in my imagination, Saint Monarca is dedicated to the preservation of the Monarch butterfly. I created this saint to offer protection as the butterflies make their journey south to their overwintering grounds in the mountains of central Mexico. When they arrive, they will cluster together, coating the sacred Oyamel Fir trees of Michoacán.
