💀 La Catrina was "born" relatively recently, it was created by famous Mexican illustrator José Guadalupe Posada in 1910 and has nothing to do with the cult of "Santa Muerte".
💀 La Catrina, in theory, was created as a satirical cartoon to ridicule certain social classes in 20th century Mexico.
💀 Over time, it became an icon of the Mexican cultural revolution and a symbol of the integration of pre-Hispanic and post-colonial ideals. 💚 ❤️
