Dia de Los Muertos and Longevity
Dia de Los Muertos and Longevity
The day of the Dead. What can the dead and this Mexican cultural holiday teach us about longevity?
Is there more to the story than candy, spooky witches, monsters, tricks, and treats. Let's find out
What is day of the Dead?
- A holiday most often celebrated on Nov 1st or 2nd.
- Its strongest traditions and ties are to the Mexican culture.
- On Dia de los Muertos, people remember and honor their past loved ones.
- Representations of human skulls, marigold flowers, home alters with pictures of passed loved ones, pan de Muertos (the sharing of alimentacion or “nourishment”), are the hallmarks of this day.
- The roots are debated, but this tradition may date back to Aztecs society.
- Dia de los Muertos brings families and communities together, celebrates life, and death.
- I encourage you to Celebrate this magical holiday, Dia de los Muertos, along with all the fun and spookiness of Halloween, and depending on your beliefs, along with Christian traditions of All hallows eve (all Saints Day and All souls day – that actually has a similar message that just isn’t really practiced in my experience)
