The Catrina is a popular figure in Mexican culture, especially associated with the celebration of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). She is often depicted as a skeletal woman dressed in elegant clothing, symbolizing the idea that death is a part of life and should be embraced rather than feared. The Catrina serves as a reminder of the inevitability of death and the importance of honoring loved ones who have passed away. Originally created by artist José Guadalupe Posada in the early 20th century, the Catrina has evolved into a cultural icon. Her image is commonly seen in decorations, art, and costumes during the Day of the Dead festivities. The Catrina represents a blend of indigenous and European traditions, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Mexico.
