Day Of The Dead

History 500 years ago, when the Spanish conquistadors landed in the place that is now called Mexico, they found natives practicing a ritual for the dead. It was ritual that the indigenous people had been practicing for 3,000 years. It was a ritual that the Spanish tried to erase without success. Today this ritual is called Dia de los Muertos or Dead Of The Dead.

History Mexicans don’t celebrate Halloween. They celebrate Day Of The Dead. This is a religious day very similar to All Saint’s Day. The majority of hispanics are catholics, a part of christiandom. They believe that the spirits don’t die. They believe that the dead live in limbo, where they stay until they return to visit their families.

The Offering They set a table with a white tablecloth decorated with various things. Some of them may include: Decorative cut paperflowersskeletons skulls candlesbread of the dead incensefoodcandy A photowatertowel soapsaltatole (a thick seasoned drink)
