\"Catarinas<\/p>\n

One of Mexico\u2019s most important religious holidays is celebrated on All Saint\u2019s Day (Nov 1) and All Soul\u2019s Day (Nov 2): Dia de los Muertos<\/em> (sometimes called Dia de los Fieles Difuntos<\/em>) \u2013 Day of the Dead.\u00a0\u00a0 Traditionally, November 1st honors deceased children and November 2nd honors deceased adults.<\/p>\n

Far from being a morbid event, Day of Dead emphasizes remembrance of past lives and celebration of the continuity of life.\u00a0 This acknowledgement of life\u2019s continuity has roots which go back to some of Mexico\u2019s oldest civilizations: Olmec, Zapotec, Maya, Purepecha.\u00a0\u00a0 The Aztecs, too, celebrated Day of the Dead, although earlier\u00a0(August) on the current calendar.<\/p>\n

Day of the Dead is celebrated passionately throughout Mexico, and especially so in smaller provincial towns and cities.<\/p>\n

One of the culinary highlights of the season is \u201cPan de Muerto<\/em>\u201d (Bread of the Dead<\/a>) which is a semi-sweet sugar-coated bread made from eggs and infused with natural citrus fruit flavors.\u00a0 It\u2019s traditionally taken with hot chocolate that has been mixed with cinnamon and makes for a perfect blend on a chilly November evening.<\/p>\n

Planning for Day of the Dead can be done days, weeks or even a whole year in advance, during which time family members will gather ofrendas, <\/em>offerings, to the dead.\u00a0 Toys are usually offered for deceased children and bottles of tequila, mezcal, or atole for deceased adults.\u00a0 Trinkets, or the deceased\u2019s favorite food or candy, may also be offered on the grave.<\/p>\n

During the celebratory period, it\u2019s traditional for families to visit the cemeteries where their loved ones are buried to clean and to decorate the graves with the offerings.\u00a0 Offerings are also put in homes, usually with foods such as caramelized pumpkin, Pan de Muerto<\/em> and small sugar skulls which are sometimes engraved with the deceased person\u2019s name.\u00a0 Decorations usually include\u00a0orange marigold flowers called cempaxochitl<\/em>, or Flor de Muerto <\/em>(\u201cFlower of the Dead\u201d).<\/p>\n

Day of the Dead is a holiday that attracts a certain fascination for visitors from abroad. Celebrations in the city of Oaxaca<\/a> and the town of Patzcuaro<\/a> are particularly well attended by foreign visitors; early\u00a0bookings for local accommodation are essential if you want to experience Day of the Dead at either of these places.<\/p>\n

The precise ceremonies, offerings and customs for Day of the Dead celebrations vary by region and town.\u00a0 However, the fundamental traditions\u00a0described here are echoed all over Mexico and a visit to a cemetery, where the graves are bursting with color and decorations, and the lives of those past are lovingly remembered by those present, is a worthwhile inclusion to your experiences of Mexican culture during this time of year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
