Periódico Halloween

DAY OF DEATH
IT’S NOT EXACTLY HALLOWEEN AS IT’S QUITE DIFFERENT, BUT ON
OCTOBER 31ST, A CELEBRATION VERY IMPORTANT FOR MEXICANS TAKES
PLACE IN MEXICO, DAY OF THE DEATH. WE ONLY TALK ABOUT MEXICO,
BUT WHAT FEW KNOW IS THAT IT’S ALSO CELEBRATED IN BOLIVIA, PERU,
ECUADOR, GUATEMALA AND IN OTHER COUNTRIES OF LATAM (LATIN
AMERICA) ALTHOUGH TO A LESSER EXTENT.
ON THESE DATES, THEY DECORATE
THE CEMETERIES WITH CANDLES,
GARLANDS, FLOWERS, ETC., SINCE
THEIR BELIEFS DICTATE THAT ON
THIS DAY THEY SHOULD HONOR
THE DECEASED. THEIR HOUSES AND
STREETS ARE ALSO DECORATED
WITH THESE OBJECTS AND WITH
PHOTOS OF THE DECEASED.
THEY HAVE MANY TRADITIONS, SUCH AS TYPICAL FOODS THAT THEY
SHARE WITH THE DEAD AND OFFER THEM, THERE ARE OFFERINGS AND
ALTARS FOR THE DECEASED. A VERY FAMOUS FOOD FOR THESE DATES IS
THE PAN DE MUERTO (BREAD OF THE DEAD).
