Choose from Loteria, Day of the Dead, Frida Kahlo and Our Lady of Guadalupe themes.
Loteria images come from a Mexican game of chance, similar to Bingo, but using images on a deck of cards instead of numbers. The Loteria card deck is comprised of 54 different images depicting people, animals and objects. Choose from these four Loteria images: La Sirena (The Mermaid), El Musico (The Musician), El Diablito (The Little Devil), and El Corazon (The Heart).
Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, is celebrated throughout Mexico and the Southwestern United States and coincides with the Christian All Souls and All Saints Days on November 1st and 2nd. Skeletons and skulls are found everywhere in Day of the Dead celebrations. Skeleton figures depicting an active and joyful afterlife are especially
popular and Dia de los Muertos is a time for people to fondly remember those who are deceased. Choose from Catrina (a popular Day of the Dead character) or Sugar Skull images.
Frida Kahlo was an internationally popular Mexican painter. Kahlo was influenced by indigenous Mexican culture, which is apparent in her use of bright colors and dramatic symbolism. In the past decade, an explosion of Kahlo-inspired films, plays, calendars, and jewelry has transformed the artist into a veritable cult figure.
Our Lady of Guadalupe is perhaps Mexico's most popular religious and cultural image, and the focus of an extensive pilgrimage. Representing a famous apparition of the Virgin Mary, she is said to have appeared to Saint Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac near Mexico City in December of 1531. Our Lady of Guadalupe is generally recognized to be a symbol of all Catholic Mexicans.
