Hello everyone. How have you been? Did they think they already I was gone? Not really. Well, now that the absence itself was long since I've been busy with school and many other things. Well, going after what is the theme of this time. Let's talk a little about what the Day of the Dead.
Well, the Day of the Dead, more than a celebration, one might say that is a memorial of the deceased persons and to which the recoradmos always with some appreciation, in short something that holds them to the deceased is your life, the Day of the Dead does not mean death and alone, but something you can remember all those we are already ahead.
And if they remember something about the dead, is always happy, but not with sadness or crying, because that gets us nothing but more frustration, so do not be confused with the simple fact called Day of the Dead.
More or less these days are already beginning to make preparations for which are being these festivals, markets and even the big stores start to sales of products, mainly for the development of offerings, from the basics like Pan de Muerto, marigold flowers, sugar skulls or chocolate, even the most elaborate and huge ornaments, dishes prepared, among other materials to it.
The offering is an altar where you put these and many more items, as our beliefs our dead come to visit and it is tradition to give them some food so they can bring him back from whence they came.
Another important thing, is about 2 days of celebration, often not very clear is that each represents.
On 1 November, the calendar always marked as All Saints. This date is honos the souls of all those children who died without baptism or later (correct me if I'm wrong). The family members watch over the dead child's soul may be from their siblings and parents.
And on November 2, All Souls is dedicated the souls of adults, the Tradition indicates that this souls descend to earth to hang out with family, and enjoy the aroma of the offering and take something on your return trip.
Well, personally to me seems one of the best traditions we have Mexicans in the year, not for food, not the decorations or why offering much nicer than the other, simply for what it represents puts us mainly to reflect a lot about what life is and also what is death, which is only an important part of the Life Cycle. Sure, we can take with good humor, that's what the famous skulls, but in some ways have be taken with seriousness and respect that it deserves. For everything has its time.
important thing to this is that this celebration should not be confused with what is the Halloween celebration started in the United States and held on October 31, often forget what our true traditions, as in Halloween is mostly regarded as overly Too much marketing. and here in Mexico, unfortunately, many take it as an excuse to get drunk and do dehanding and a half brother is not really that. I'm not saying it's wrong that you have fun as you want, but the important thing is not to forget our traditions, because it is our culture, and something that distinguishes us a los mexicanos por nuestras tradiciones tan bonitas y espectaculares que solemos hacer. Y no hablo sólo del Día de Muertos, porque también tenemos una gran variedad de fiestas y tradiciones que se celebran cada año en distintas regiones de este hermoso país.
