The day of the Dead is a mexican tradition that honors people who have
died. It is celebrated at the end of october and beginning of November.
This festival is also celebrated in many communities in the United
States, because many mexicans live there. It is also celebrated in some
latin american countries.
Indigenous people in Mesoamerica such as Aztecs, Mayas, Nahuas,
Totonacas and Purepechas Used to Celebrate this tradition. During the
pre-Hispanic times people Used to Preserve skulls as trophies. They
Used to Symbolize death and rebirth. Mexicas Used to Believe that
the energy of the dead was determined by the type of death they had
suffered and not by the behavior they Used to Spend during their lives.
Aztecs Used to Have this tradition in August, and they Used to Honor a
complete month in festivities. These festivities Used to Honor the god
Mictecacihuatl and they Used to Be children and the lives of relatives
who had died.
On November 2nd, mexicans visit their relatives who have passed away
and they prepare food for them. It is a tradition to believe that the soul of
the dead comes and visits the living during that night and are able to
enjoy the food that is prepared for them. Relatives prepare those dishes
that the dead Used to Love.
The celebration of the day of the Death is famous in many parts of the
world. On november 7, 2003 this mexican tradition was declared
intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO
