Interesting Facts:
– It’s not the same as Halloween.
– It originated in Mexico and Central America
– It’s a celebration of life, not death
– Flowers, butterflies and skulls are typically used as symbols.
-The dead are in attendance: Early Mexicans beliefs were that the dead can travel back and forth between worlds. Thus, participants believe that their dead relatives are actually present during the festivities.
-The party is literally in the graveyard: Families will decorate the graves and tombs of their loved ones, and then hold celebrations including food and music right in front of them.
-The skulls mean more than just death: Skulls feature prominently in Day of the Dead celebrations, even down to making little sugar skulls to place on alters. In pre-Hispanic times, the indigenous Mexican population viewed the skull as both a symbol of death and re-birth.
-Look out for hairless dogs: Depictions of the Xoloitzcuintli (or the Mexican hairless dog) are often featured in Day of the Dead decorations as these animals will lead the dead back to heaven after the party is over.
