Behind LA CATRINA:

Day of the Dead/Dia de Los Muertos is a yearly holiday celebration and tradition. It's a time dedicated to celebrate the lives of loved one that have passed on. Families will create OFRENDAS (alters with offerings) in their homes for their loved ones and place items that their loved ones enjoyed such as a guitar, a favorite book, and their favorite food. They also fill the cemeteries with flowers, candles, and foods while they sing songs and talk to their ancestors. 

It is a holiday that honors our loved ones and ensures that their spirits live on.

La Catrina serves as a symbol of how Mexican people see death and the afterlife.
