People dressed as Mexico's iconic "Catrinas" march in the Grand Procession of the Catrinas, part of upcoming Day of the Dead celebrations, on Sunday, Oct. 23, 2022, in Mexico City. Skeletal images have abounded in Mexico since pre-Hispanic times. But in 1910, when Mexico was living under the exclusionary policies of dictator Porfirio Díaz, illustrator Jose Guadalupe Posada sketched the image of La Catrina as a tool for social satire. The implication was that the extravagance of a few who were accumulating vast wealth was killing others. (AP Photo/Eduardo Verdugo, File)
