The gentle breeze makes it a perfect day for a flight over the fields. This raised, hand-painted tile vibrantly celebrates the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos), a Mexican tradition observed on November 2nd. During this time, families honor their deceased loved ones by visiting cemeteries, decorating graves, and creating altars known as "ofrendas." These ofrendas are adorned with offerings such as food, beverages, and personal mementos to welcome the spirits back for a joyful reunion. This practice reflects a view of death as a natural part of life, encouraging remembrance and celebration rather than mourning.
La Catrina, originally created by Mexican illustrator José Guadalupe Posada, has become an iconic symbol of this holiday, representing the Mexican perspective on death as an integral and inevitable part of life. Her elegant portrayal reminds us that, regardless of social status, we are all equal in the face of mortality.
