1) The Day of the Dead is a Mexican occasion celebrated all

through Mexico, specifically the Central and South areas, and


by individuals of Mexican legacy somewhere else. The multi-
day holiday includes loved ones get-together to appeal to God
for and recall loved ones who have kicked the bucket, and
helping bolster their profound excursion. In Mexican culture,
passing is seen as a characteristic piece of the human cycle.
Mexicans see it not as a day of pity yet as a day of festivity in
light of the fact that their friends and family conscious and
celebrate with them.[1] In 2008, the convention was recorded
in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage
of Humanity by UNESCO.

Masks were part of their culture and was a part of their beliefs.
They were a part of their holidays. They were important to the
people of Mexico as well. They would often be animals and the
people added human features to the masks. Other masks depicted
full animals figures attached to the face. The mask represented
the ever-changing belief system unique to the people and the
geographical regions throughout time. Some masks symbolized
the belief that rain would come. In some dances, the Mexican
people wore tiger masks to link themselves to the god that they
worshipped. Certain masks were worn during dances for specific
gods. In some masks still today show the blending of the pre-
Hispanic and Christian relationship.
