1. Holiday history of the 🌺💀🌹 Day of the Dead

The roots of the holiday go back to the times of the Aztecs and Mayans, who believed in an afterlife. They believed that death is a transition from the earthly world to another. Based on this assumption, the 👻 Soul doesn’t die but continues to exist after death. Also, the ancient peoples believed that the souls of the dead, within a month, come to visit their 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Loved ones.

Interesting fact: Previously, the Aztecs celebrated this holiday in 🍎 August and the celebrations lasted a whole month, but with the arrival of the colonialists, the date of the holiday shifted to All Saints’ Day.

2. Traditions and symbols of the 🌺💀🌹 Day of the Dead

The main attribute of the Day of the Dead is the altar. It is believed that it is a portal from the underworld, through which the souls of the deceased can visit their loved ones in the real world. Each 👪 Family builds its own altar and erects it at their 🏠 Home or a relative’s 🪦 Grave. It should be decorated with 🟠 Orange 🌺 Marigolds, which are believed to attract the souls of the deceased, 🎁 Gifts, and treats. Also, there must be 🖼 Photographs of the deceased, a 🏺 Jug of 💧 Water, sweet 🍞 Bread, paper products, and 🕯 Candles inside the altar. These customs are beautifully reflected in the 2017 cartoon “Coco”.

The main symbols of this holiday are the figurines of Katrina and Calavera, which are the image of 💀 Skulls on various objects, for example, on 🍪 Cookies.

During the days of the celebration 💃 Carnivals, concerts, and various entertainment programs are held. Many people dress up as Katrina, ☠️ Skeletons, and also have skulls on their faces.

Interesting fact:

• The Day of the Dead Carnivals appeared recently in 2016 and owe their origin to the movie “007: Specter,” which featured an episode of 🕵️‍♂️ James Bond attending the Day of the Dead Carnival.
• In 2004, 👩‍🎓 Students of the National University entered the 📘 Guinness Book of Records, as they built a huge wall of sugar Calavera.
