so where do all these skeleton figures come from???
from indigenous art and believes ofcourse!!!
from christian tradition as well...
(the second picture is an old miniature glass bottle which one had to look at through magnifying glass. - i suppose you've already guessed which picture is not part of the christian tradition... ;)
and finally we meet these fine ladies...
la catrina - coqueta - is a very typical and beloved figure dating all the way back until 1913. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catrina)
i suppose now you all understand the beloved skeletons of mexico - the humour and the respect of the dead... to me it seems like a very beautiful tradition: teaching the children not to be afraid... building día de los muertos altars for the died loved ones...
