In Aztec mythology, Chicōmecōātl is the goddess of agriculture, sustenance, and fertility. She is also known as “Seven Serpent” and is sometimes called “goddess of nourishment”, a goddess of plenty and the female aspect of maize. Her name includes the number seven, which is associated with luck and generative power.

Her appearance is mostly represented with a red headdress on top, corn in her hands, a long patterned skirt, and carrying a sun flower shield.

Chicōmecōātl Catrina was created to symbolize the nature element of EARTH. In the ofrenda, this element is often represented by products of agriculture placed at the altar to satisfy the hunger of the sprits after a long travel. The food nourishes the souls of the deceased, and the aroma of the harvest feeds them.
