*** About La Catrina: La Catrina has become an emblem of the Mexican Day of the Dead, a holiday that celebrates the lives of the deceased with food, drink, parties, and activities the dead enjoyed in life. Originally created by artist José Guadalupe Posada, La Catrina was initially a satire, aimed at Mexican natives who Posada felt were aspiring to adopt European aristocratic traditions in the pre-revolution era. Over time, this figure has transformed into a poignant symbol in the Mexican culture, representing the joy of life and remembrance of the dead. During Dia de los Muertos, representations of La Catrina are often seen in costumes, masks, and effigies, which commemorate the departed with vibrant joy rather than somber reflection.
