I saw a comment like this, so I'm extending on it. Basically, if you have questions like this, here are some common answers. 1. She was a social critic who basically told you to be yourself, because at the end of the day we're all gonna be skeletons. 2. The imagery of her originated in 1910, and she was created by Jose Guadalupe Posada 3.The original name was Calavera Garbancera, which means Chickpea Skeleton in English 4. The original purpose of her was basically to encourage people to be themselves 5. La Calavera Garbancera changed into La Catrina in Diego Rivera’s mural. I did not steal these answers, I came up with them myself. I did steal the idea of giving answers though. Don't tell your teachers 🤫
Oh but it will, it will help you with your Spanish and by all metrics by 2050 Latinos will reach close to 50% of the US population, you better know spanish then kid.
Am I tripping or did they mix up their Josés. That is a picture of Mexican muralist José Clemente Orozco not José Guadalupe Posada. Orozco was a student of Posada but a different person altogether.
@@hueyitlahtoani9242 all souls day is where alot of the mural and cemetery celebration comes from. La Catrina was a Mexican woman wearing a French dress, the charro is from Salamanca Spain. The art on sugar candies were from Italian monks, The ritual everyone says the Aztecs did was placing body's or things of value so their bones weren't stolen not some ritual honoring the dead. The alebrije came in the 1930s from an author's dream. The parades were started after a James bond movie. It's not uniquely Mexican.
@@nonyabidness6492 All Souls’ Day and All Saints Day aren’t necessarily the main foundation of Day of the Dead. Yes, people do visit cemeteries which is part of the tradition, however, the CELEBRATION of death was not part of the European tradition, since death is not to be celebrated. Many Mesoamerican civilizations celebrated death which is seen in the way that southern indigenous people celebrate this holiday to the fullest, not like the commercialization in Mexico City. Altars of dead people and offerings are once again not part of the European tradition since they see it as idolatry and don’t believe that the dead return to Earth (according to Christian belief). The elements on the altar for the most part are also non European, things like copal incense, cempasuchil flowers, fruits native to Mexico etc. Of course it will also contain items from other places, cultural sharing happened both ways. From tomatoes, potatoes, corn, squash etc. being introduced to the Europeans. Are you gonna say that marinara sauce isn’t Italian simply because it contains tomatoes which are from the New World? Or that potato based dishes in Ireland aren’t Irish but Peruvian? Paella in Spain, is a rice dish and rice isn’t native to Spain now is it? Sugar skulls also aren’t for the most part used on the altars of the indigenous people because it’s something “new” that is being introduced. Parades in southern Mexico in indigenous communities have always been a thing even before the James Bond movie that inspired the parade in Mexico City (which isn’t a predominantly indigenous community). There are videos of people celebrating day of the dead in Oaxaca, Mexico in 2008. Mexico City recently adopted this tradition to attract tourists and from what I’ve seen, it literally looks terrible but that’s besides the point. And finally, la catrina was created to make fun of Mexicans who denied their indigenous/Mexican roots and wanted to be more white/European like the French which is why she wears a French hat. Especially during Porfirio Diaz’ rule who wanted to emulate France as much as he could. Since skeletons are a symbol of death, of course they would use her as the symbol for day of the dead. Now a days, many indigenous communities dress in their traditional clothes and paint their faces as skeletons. I don’t deny that it contains European things like the charro outfits, Catholicism and catholic images, but to deny the pre Hispanic/indigenous elements is wrong.
This is the first time I see a well explained english video, it was explianed correctly, this is a Mexican tradition not latin american, rest of latin countries celebrate all hallows day, day of the dead is celebrated in Mexico and Unesco recognized the tradition as Mexican
