Yes! I have heard of Santa Barbara bendita when there is a thunderstorm but usually from the lips of Cubans...... there is this little shop that has the biggest statue of Sta. Barbara with a little fence that surrounds her and has places for people to leave their offerings. Usually bread, money, beer, soda, etc. It is quite a spooky place!  |
It's kind of fun though. Elaina, those shops are called botánicas, and it's nice to know they exist in Wisconsin too. New York and New Jersey have lots of them expecially along Bergenline and Roosevelt Avenues. If something is really bothering you, you can go there a buy a
despojo. 
I did. It didn't work, but it was an interesting experience.
