La Catrina at Dia de los Muertos

Making portraits of La Catrina at Dia de los Muertos or the Day of the Dead at Rancho Guajome Adobe in Vista, California (10/30/2021).

 

The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday and is celebrated throughout Mexico. Family and friends get together to pray and remember their loved ones who have passed away. This is not a time of mourning, but rather it is a joyful celebration of life, food, friends and family.

 

The history of the Day of the Dead is a syncretism of Pre-Hispanic and Spanish customs. The celebration takes place on November 1–2, in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints' Day (November 1) and All Souls' Day (November 2).
