"La Catrina" is a popular icon in Mexican culture, particularly associated with the Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead (04.11). The origins can be traced back to 1910-1913. It is depicted as an elegantly dressed female skeleton, often wearing a fancy hat and is intended to satirize the upper class of the time. Over the years, La Catrina has become an emblematic figure representing the Mexican celebration of Día de los Muertos. This holiday is a time when people honor and remember deceased loved ones, celebrating their lives with offerings of food, drink, and marigolds, and creating altars adorned with their favorite items. La Catrina, with her stylish appearance and skeletal form, has become a prominent symbol of the acceptance of death as a natural part of life, as well as a representation of the idea that everyone, regardless of social status, ultimately shares the same fate.
