Dia de muertos

In some schools there are Catrina contests and altars to famous deceased. I participated in the catrina contest 3 years in a row, all participants represent this character of the author Jose Guadalupe Posada, a famous Mexican artist who illustrated "La Catrina", the origin of this peculiar character was given by a criticism of the high society, and that we adopted as an icon of the Day of the Dead in Mexican culture.
