The symbolism of the skull:

The skull is one of the most controversial and widely used symbols. Since ancient times it has represented death and danger, but in other cultures, such as Mexico, the skull takes on different meanings: joy, family and faith. Very often the skull is used to celebrate life and other meanings include power, strength, protection and change. In the Christian religion it represents eternity and the soul, while in Judaism it is a symbol of rebirth.
