La Catrina
Although La Catrina is a central figure in the Día de Muertos celebration today, she wasn’t the first major symbol of the afterlife in Mexican culture. The queen of the Aztec underworld of Chicunamictlan, Mictēcacihuātl was the first major symbol. Her purpose was to be present during any recognition of those who passed on and watch over their bones. Therefore, the Mexican tradition of honoring and celebrating the dead is deeply rooted in the culture. After decades of tradition and modernization, Mictēcacihuātl’s symbol and purpose is now represented by La Catrina.
