Death comes for us all, for some as a shadow waiting to snatch our souls, for others an angel come down from heaven to carry us home. In every culture across the globe there is some reference or myth about death personified.

The image of death is represented as a grim reaper, a keeper of the underworld, a faceless phantom, and, in Mexico, it’s la Santa Muerte. She is celebrated, as death is seen as a transition rather than a loss of life.
