José Guadalupe Posada, a Mexican caricaturist, created La Catrina as political satire in 1910 ... In 1947 muralist Diego Rivera painted this character with an elegant outfit and christening her "La Catrina" for his mural "DREAM OF A SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN THE ALAMEDA CENTRAL".

Today "She" is the Mexican icon, most closely associated with "Day of the Dead" / Dia de los Mu***os (November 1st & 2nd)

The cuetlaxochitl (kwet-la-sho-she), commonly known as the poinsettia, has a rich history deeply rooted in the traditions and culture of the Aztecs. The introduction of the cuetlaxochitl to the United States occurred through Dr. Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first U.S. ambassador to Mexico.
Given the growing movement to reclaim indigenous names and traditions, it is time to honor the beauty and significance of the cuetlaxochitl by using its Nahuatl name more widely. Just as indigenous peoples are reconnecting with their ancestral roots, it is essential to acknowledge and respect the plants true name and deep cultural and historical importance. By calling this iconic plant cuetlaxochitl, we can honor the rich cultural heritage and resilience of the Aztec.
