New Catrina mermaids unpacked! Each is handmade and no two are the same! For those of you not familiar with the story behind the skeletons: The Mexicans celebrate the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos). They believe that all their deceased relatives and friends come back for one day each year (November 1st, similar to All Souls Day or All Saints Day that many Catholics recognize). They clean up the graveyards, have fiestas, and serve the favorite foods their loved ones had enjoyed in life. Death is inevitable, and a lot of the Mexican folk art reflects this.
