In Mexico a commemoration is made to the deceased or better faithful known as Day of the Dead, celebrated on November 2, is one of the most important traditions in Mexico, no other country commemorate those who are gone and why not, to be reminded of death, this tradition has, from prehistory and death for many peoples of Mesoamerica was of great importance as it was in what most believe. There has been talk of Mexico as a country rich in cultural areas but especially rich in culture that are unique and  the tradition of Day of the Dead, is more than unique and where you can see how is Mexico in different ways. Today it gets an offering with photos, offering all the things he liked to eat when they were alive, like rice, mole, chocolate, chicken, etc., it is said to come spirit  a the earth, in this offering various kinds of things as they are placed: candles, marigolds, pictures, incense, food and various objects. Something important is that Mexican families often go to the cemetery and decorate his tomb (either in the afternoon or in the morning)

Every state in Mexico has its way unique and special to celebrate the Day of the Dead, is not the same offering one that is the center of Oaxaca to an offering of the Federal District as each state is adding or removing a few things but the goal or purpose are the same.

 

The death In Mexico is a character recognized for generations has been said talk about it. Mexicans have the creativity of death making her images as the now famous "Catrina" which was created by Jose Guadalupe Posada's Calavera original name Garbancera. "Garbancera" is the word that was then known people who sold garbanza who having Indian blood and was Diego Rivera who gave their characteristic attire and was the one who called it "Catrina", we always see this elegant lady, thin with upper-class appearance but with indigenous origins, always fine. Diego Rivera and Jose Guadalupe Posada had that great creativity to create an image of death and thereby make jokes to death, mostly laughed death in literary skulls, which referred to some quality or defect a character or matters of interest, usually talks about Catrina takes someone on earth has done something wrong, or that has been bad, so take him Catrina are especially frequent and valued in Mexico forming an important part of the tradition of Day of the Dead.

 

Finally this tradition and many more than we Mexicans should appreciate, respect and persevere in many years because it is something that distinguishes us from others and what we're proud of us.
