Description
El Vals de la Viuda 1: Eres tu la Muertita, soy yo la Catrina (You are the beloved dead, I am la Catrina)--
La Calavera Catrina, created by Jose Guadalupe Posada in 1813, has become an important part of celebrations of Los Dias de los Muertos, the Days of the Dead. Here she carries cempasuchil, the flowers of the dead, and wears a mourner's veil. The banners of papel picado depict doves for love, a butterfly for the spirit, and cactus for endurance.
