Mexican Catholicism has some interesting rituals. I’ve seen women walk on their knees to pray to an unnamed saint (mummified corpse supposedly a Christian from Roman catacombs) on display in a cathedral in a glass case.

As I recall, Catholicism has always had some form of this—a lot of churches have relics on display—the remains of saints or martyrs typically.
Officially, the Church does not condone the worship of relics (Jerome).

(But let your word 'yes be 'yes,' and your 'no be 'no.' Anything more than this is from the evil one.)
