Day Of The Dead - Dia de los Muertos

Post by Dragon Sun Oct 30, 2022 2:30 am

This year, Day of the Dead observances are celebrated beginning on the evening of Monday, October 31, 2022 and end on Wednesday, November 3, 2022.

As they still say in Mexico, "Nobody truly dies unless they are forgotten". The day is still a very special one, helping to keep family memories alive.

Children are remembered on the Day of the Innocents ("Día de los Inocentes") on November 1, followed by other loved ones who are counted among the dearly departed on November 2, the Day of the Dead.

In ancient Mexico, rituals celebrating the lives of dead ancestors had been performed by Mesoamerican civilizations for at least 3,000 years.

Festivities were presided over by the goddess Mictecacihuatl, known as the "Lady of the Dead".

It was common practice to use skulls as trophies and display them during rituals to symbolize death and rebirth.

One particular tradition that lives on today is a recipe for sugar skulls, which are brightly decorated and served up by Day of the Dead devotees and party hosts with ghoulish glee.
