La Catrina, also known as “Dama de la Muerte” or “Lady of the Dead,” is a skeletal figure depicted as an elegantly dressed woman wearing a fancy hat adorned with flowers. The character originated from a famous zinc etching created by the Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada in the early 20th century.
La Catrina has become one of the most recognizable symbols of Día de los Muertos, representing the idea that death is a natural part of life and should be celebrated rather than feared.
