La Catrina and Dia De Los Muertos
November 1, 2019
The Day of the Dead in Mexico is actually several days. It starts on the evening of October 27th and ends on November 3rd. The history and traditions date back before the Aztecs. According Bernardino de Sahagun, the Aztecs celebrated the dead from June 2nd through August 20th. Many people around Vallejo are now familiar with Las Catrinas of Solano AIDS Coalition. Most people do not know the history of La Catrina. One of the most familiar symbol of Dia De Los Muertos are the calacas and calaveras (skeletons and skulls)..

The concept of La Catrina originated during the Porfiriato, between 1876 and 1910, when Porfirio Diaz was…...
