Enjoy it with a cup of hot cocoa, warmed up and sweeten up the memories of the ones that are no longer with us. Pan de Muerto is one of the elements that can not be missed on an altar, a bread that resembles a skull with bones. Our Altar in the picture above is made for the 2 most representative artist in Mexico, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera which I admire the most. Now a days people also makes altars for their Favourite historical characters, artist, singers, anybody who means or have influenced in some way your life, or that you just simple admire. With a sarcastic bitter-sweet humor Mexicans celebrate the ones that are no longer with us but with the biggest respect they built altars to commemorate them singing, drinking and praying. This phenomenon it is assimilated with respect and irony, defying the dead as they laugh about her. Candles are placed to illuminate the way for a safe journey back home. And if they are coming all the way from a different dimension we better have some feast worth the trip!ДЇamily altars are decorated with the remembered onesвЂ™ favorite foods, photographs, possessions,sugar skulls, drinks and flowers. We celebrate the people who departed in hope that they might come back and visit to celebrate with us. November 1 day of all saints, and November 2nd day of all souls. In Mexico, Day of the Dead is celebrated over three days starting October 31st. Mexico has a lot of good traditions to share with the worldвЂ¦ It is of great importance to remember and maintain these traditions of a rich and colorful culture. It is a remembrance of life and the necessity to keep our bounds that seem so impossible to achieve and maintain when our loved ones depart. It is a symbol of MexicoвЂ™s cult to the dead and the fascination for the unknown. In 2003 The Day of the Dead, was named by UNESCO as a patrimony intangible of humanity.

As often happens when two cultures meet, the Spaniards combined the native rituals with their own beliefs which produced a festival that assimilated the ideology, religion, art, agriculture and all the ingredients of the existing culture and resulted in our modern вЂњDia de los MuertosвЂќ. The tradition of celebrating Day of the Dead dates from Pre-Columbian times, when the natives of Mexico focused a great deal on the manner in which someone died and rituals were created to commune with the dead and deities from those ancient times.
