| Day of the Dead |
Date:
Nov 2 |
El Dia de Los Muertos:
The celebration occurs on the 1st and 2nd of November. The 1st of November is also called All Saints' Day, and the 2nd of November is also called All Souls' Day.
The traditional mood for this holiday is bright with emphasis on celebrating and honouring the lives of the dead. This is because they think of The Day of the Dead as the continuation of life. They believe that death is not the end, but the beginning of a new stage in life. These people are usually Christians of Native American descent whose ancestors introduced indigenous ideas of life after death.
Although this holiday is dedicated to the dead, the original festival was dedicated to a goddess called Mictecacihuatl (also known as ‘The Lady of the Dead’), but in English she is called Catrina. On the first day of the festival, the people honour dead children and infants, whereas adults who have died are honoured on the second day.
