The Day of Dead has come!
Amishrak is in the mood to celebrate the holyday in the appropriate local fashion dressing herself as Catrina.
Do you join her?
Painting yourself as skeleton is fun here. Skull art is found in various cultures of the world and Mexican art celebrates uses it as a regular motif. The use of skulls and skeletons is originated before the Spanish Conquest: The Aztecs excelled in stone sculptures & paintings and created striking carvings of their Gods.
Do you know? Catrina was a dandy-looking female skeleton (created by Guadalupe Posada) with a fancy feathered hat to look like an aristocratic lady. But message was simple no matter how rich or poor you were, no matter the color of your skin, and no matter what society you belonged to, you would all end up skeletons.
Catrina became a strong symbol for the numerous Day of the Dead activities. Women paint their faces in colorful make-up and dress with elegant outfits evoking the famous symbolic skeleton. Celebrations are held in the cemeteries where the mood is jovial and people cheerfully commemorate their lost loved ones, offering them flowers and some of their favorite foods and beverages from when they were still alive.
