DÍA DE MUERTOS
Un regreso a casa, una reunión con aquellos que partieron hace tiempo, un lugar con nuestras memorias, comida y bebidas favoritas, un Día de Muertos. Cada 2 de Noviembre, México recuerda a sus Santos Difuntos con cempasúchil, papel picado, pan de muerto, calaveritas e increíbles ofrendas: coloridos altares con aquellas cosas que nuestros difuntos disfrutaron en vida, y que pueden saborear una vez más durante una sola noche al año. Como Octavio Paz alguna vez escribió: “Por ambos caminos el mexicano se cierra al mundo: a la vida y a la muerte.”
DAY OF THE DEATH
The Day of The day is a Mexican holiday where mexican families remember, honor and welcome back their deceased loved ones for a brief reunion that includes food, drink and celebration. A blend of Mesoamerican ritual, European religion and Spanish culture, the holiday is celebrated each year from October 31-November 2.
It's a very festive and colorful holiday celebrating the lives of those who have passed on. Mexicans visit cemeteries, decorate the graves and make elaborate altars (called ofrendas) including photographs of the deceased loved ones, decorative skulls, food, and marigold flowers in their homes to welcome the spirits.
