The Catrina, or 'La Calavera Catrina,' is a figure deeply rooted in Mexican culture, symbolizing the Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) celebrations, She is commonly depicted as a elegantly dressed skeleton, illustrating the idea that death is a natural phase of life's cycle, hence to be embraced rather than feared, Originating from a 1910-1913 zinc etching by famous Mexican printmaker José Guadalupe Posada, Catrina has become a symbol of Mexican Day of the Dead festivities, Her portrayal is a reminder of the democratic nature of death, suggesting that regardless of one's status in life, everyone eventually meets the same end.

The Catrina is not just an appreciation of Mexican culture and tradition, but also a reflection on the universality of mortality.
