I'm not Hispanic, but being from Southern California I've been exposed to Dia de los Muertos all my life. I started celebrating it myself as an adult and now it's one of my favorite holidays. I've experienced a lot of loss, and being able to have a spiritual family reunion is very cathartic and healing.
My father passed away when I was only 4….I’m 28 and I’m just now finding out more about him and I was shocked when I realized that our faces are identical. It’s sparked my interest and love for this beautiful celebration, because after this realization in my life, i know that he is still with me and I can finally feel his presence for the first time in my life….thank you to all walks of life for keeping this amazing tradition alive ❤️
I want visit Mexico 🇲🇽. I love Mexican culture. Love from India 🇮🇳 ♥
You're welcome! I love India, as well. Come visit!!!! Your sister from Mexico!!!
I love India. I can’t wait to go back for another visit.
Please keep out American influences in this beautiful celebration. Keep it pure and beautifully Mexican
That's fine. Stay out of America in general with your Mexican influences.
We can't -we won't- keep out American influences. Mexico is in America, therefore, there are American roots. If you mean keeping out influences from the US, and if you're talking 'bout Halloween, it doesn't have roots in the US. We welcome its Celtic wisdom, though. I'm not an English speaker, English is my second language!
@rachnahernandez6028 alot of what you said it's true my friend. But where I don't agree is the day of the dead is only a Mexican tradition that dates way back from our prehistoric ancestors. We celebrate our dead like a memorial and only in Mexico is celebrated.
@@lauralopez130 You need to inquiry into this a bit. It's not only in Mexico, India has a wonderful celebration: Pitru Paksha!
@rachnahernandez6028 Yes, pitru kasha is similar but not as quite the ritual due to the difference of religion. We respect all nations that celebrate their tradition in respect of our dead loved ones ❤️
Im a Catholic frm the Pacific islands. For us we celebrate halloween on the 31st of October. On November 1 we clean our graves & on the 2nd we decorate & hold a feast at the graves of our loved ones. From where i come from we have our loved one buried on our own lands.
& on new years we go house to house with drums & chants.
These traditions should be remembered for ever. This must always go on, regardless of what some other churches may want to change or judge according to their beliefs. These are Mexican traditions for us to celebrate 🎊
Protestant churches to be exact
I live in rural New England(clearly predominantly white).
We've had a slow surge of Mexican families joining our community.
I think about how sad it must be to leave certain custums/traditions behind.
These festivals are so beautiful.... so colorful....so meaningful!!!
I want to reach out to them and see if they wouldn't want to enrich our lives and educate us on their culture.
Maybe start new traditions us.
Most of all, I want them to feel welcomed.
I wish there were more people like you around.
Go for it trust me Us Mexican you do that we will show you love food and friendship but mostly my house it’s your house meaning if you I’n need I might not have a lot but the little I have it’s for everyone!
Don’t hesitate to speak with them. They would enjoy you asking about their culture, and wanting to take part. “Mi casa es su casa” isnt just a saying for us. Community is part of our soul.
In Southern California, the celebration is everywhere in October
Greetings from a Mexican in California !
Proud to be a Mexican from Oaxaca 🇲🇽
Saludos de un mexicano en tracy California
Love Oaxaca. You guys make great cheese.
Finally I find a documentary than explain one of my favorites Mexican Celebrations . I'm proud to be Mexican 🎉🇲🇽
Greetings for everyone 😄👍
Same here bro
Its a muxture
@@potita24 i love u
God knows what is in the "Heart" of each person, even though some don't understand. God Bless the Mexican people, wish I could be there.❤️❤️❤️
I love how Mexicans celebrate Life. 🇲🇽 ❤
They remind me of Bali in my country. 🇮🇩🏝
@@Kanal7Indonesia Bali se parece mucho al sureste de Mexico.
I love Mexicans. I am from the US.
That's good, we should all love one another regardless of color or religion, there's always a few bad sheep in all ethnic groups that give everyone else a bad representation. So let's not judge everyone the same. ❤
AND mexicans love you!
🙏🇲🇽🇺🇸❤️!!!
Its breaks my heart that cause of a religion my Family lost there roots , I hope I can reconnect to my ancestors and keep our roots alive ❤
I am in the same situation. My father is Mexican and his mother passed away when he was 10 years old. We have no roots, traditions, nothing. I have decided to start my own Mexican traditions to pass on so we can honor both my irish side and mexican side. Day off the dead is one we celebrate! My family name is Munoz. Wish U the best!
Me as well but we started again with my family. We don't recognize the ancient religious gods celebrated in but we dress and create the alter and food and drink and dance and discuss our passed loved ones and how they are so missed
Pues tu recupera las traditions Pata tus hijos
Your roots are alive. That's why you have the need to reconnect with your ancestors Un poema náhuatl anónimo dice: “arrancaron nuestros frutos, cortaron nuestras ramas, quemaron nuestro tronco, pero lo que no pudieron matar fueron nuestras raíces”.
what are you talking about? Didn't you hear what the priest say?
I also love the Mexican Culture so beautiful and wonderful and so many friendly people😊.. Love their food is so good❤😘🙋❤
😊😊
oh thank you for the love! :D you are always welcome to celebrate in Mexico :)
A couple of corrections. (1) this is a pre-Hispanic celebration an custom, so no, it didn’t start with the Spanish. It’s thousands of years old. (2) the BEST example of Día de Muertos 💀 is in Michoacán (Janitzio, Patzcuaro & Tzintzuntzan). The Purepecha (one of the native groups never conquered by the Aztecs, despite three bloody battles) have been celebrating Day of the Dead for over 1,000 years and is one of the most traditional and pure examples of the holiday. I know. I’ve been there and a friend of min spent it in Oaxaca... no comparison. Michoacán is on another level. YOU must experience it at least once in your life. And while you’re at it, visit the monarch butterfly 🦋 bio reserve also in Michoacán.
No, this is not true, The Purhepecha Empire started already in the years 1300 of the Christian Age, so, they have just 700 years of practicing a tradition that they heritaged from the Olmecs and Toltecs, you must read more.
@BxxDxx Hoodoo No, los Purhepechas existieron desde el año 1300 despues de Cristo, Los Zapotecos desde 1300 Antes de Cristo (2600 años antes) Los Olmecas 2800 a 4000 años antes de Cristo 5300 años antes de que tan solo existieran los Purhepechas, Los Mayas tienen Ciudades de antes de Cristo por lo menos 1500 años antes de que existieran los Purhepechas, Los Toltecas y Teotihuacan son al menos 1500 años antes de que existiera el Imperio de los Purhepechas, conclusion :
Ustedes Michoacanos heredaron esta tradicion de pueblos mucho mas antiguos, es una tradicion milenaria heredada de Los Olmecas.
@@TheGukumatz No, te equivocas
@@BORDERLANDS83 Si, claro solo con decir que me equivoco y sin sustentarlo te vamos a creer solo porque tu lo dices, la gentede Michoacan dice que ellos inventaron el dia de muertos, pero a el inframundo le llaman Mictlan, y Mictlan es una palabra de el Idioma Nahuatl, y cuando les pregunto como se llamaba su inframundo en idioma Purhepecha me han respondido que Mictlan, asi o mas pendejos!!!.
Ni una ni otra fue una mezcolanza, la veladoras vinieron de España, el papel de china, el trigo lo trajeron los españoles para hacer el pan de muerto, la flor de cempasúchil y lo de comer si es prehispánico
Viva México!
Guerrero, presente!

Thank you so much for your beautiful way to present our tradition. I am a proud woman from Oaxaca and I recognized your dedication to give the respect and history that our celebration minds to us. I wish you didn't give too much time and importance to the evangelical priest, has been very difficult for all of us who are aware and known our history to preserve it. Your work will help to inform those who would like to know more how we are as a culture rich in our deep native american roots. We are the ones who represent our people, those who were before us and made us who we are. Thank you again. Please be safe.
@MOONLIGHT SHADOW those two specific types of people that you mentioned are pure stereotypes for Latin Americans. in reality, those two groups are prevalent elsewhere, white supremacists are the most common types of violent protesters just as an example; and most latin americans are nice and act like anyone else.
The problem with these evangelist is that they are too judgemental and according to their liking they pick verses from the Bible to suit their narratives. What I love about Mexican tradition is the love and celebration among everyone. I too celebrate All Souls Day to remember our family members and on October 31st is important we clean the graves and prepare the graves with flowers, incense and candles.
guys , be happy and lets celebrate and enjoy this lovely once-in-a-year moment together; the history and research can be done later, 😉 - love from Goa, India
I was born in Seattle Wa.
my mom is from Michoacan Mexico and make an offering to my grandparents every year my dad is in this affront also he was Czech but loved mexican traditions and music, I miss him so much
at day of the dead he come and visit us sure
Making my first offrenda this year along side my grandmother, who has been doing it since I was a kid. I love the connection I feel with my grandmother and ancestors whilst we set up the table and decorations. I don't know why it took so long for me, a pocho, to reconnect with my motherland's culture and traditions. Definitely will make this an annual tradition. Viva Mexico y feliz dia de Los muertos :)
An amazing insight into Mexican traditions. 💜🍻🎉
Mexican culture is so beautiful. I love your culture! Is there any way I can support you and your holiday traditions?
By being part of them

Celebrate with us! Everyone is welcome
Yes, come visit us during these festive days, the 01 and 02 of each Nov.
Come honor your loved ones that have parted. Let's feed them their favorite of feasts, followed by us all, enjoying them as well.
You're always welcome to México!

@@lucio.martinez I get so many mixed messages and feelings about this. As a white person, I celebrate in private, and have for years, because whenever a white person talks about this holiday, or what it means to them, people just accuse you of culturally appropriating the holiday 😔 my feelings were always that everyone loses loved ones to death... If you find something beautiful to help you cope, why not participate? It's private for me, and I usually celebrate alone, my family doesn't even really know, I don't think. I truly celebrate it because it's meaningful to me. ❤️ So then, is it okay to join if if you're white, or is this offensive?
My blood is Mexican but I was born and raised in America I really wish It was bigger in the states I think it’s a celebration everyone can get behind and my experience with home land Mexicans they are very open to people celebrating with them
It becomes bigger if you embrace it and invite others to celebrate it.
Traditions and celebrations such as this event can be embraced by anyone regardless of religion or nationality.
Ngl same but my catholic mom didn't want to do any of that stuff
Just church
Keep traditions going. Me and my children are born in the states. However we celebrate the Mexican culture. Its important to raise up our children knowing their traditions and who they are.
YOU WAS BORN IN THE SAME CONTINENT, MÉXICO AND UNITED STATES ARE COUNTRIES
This was never a Spanish tradition. This is a holiday that started thousands of years before the Spanish came 🤦🏾♂️
Es la mezcla de las creencias que ya exisitían y las cristianas. Por eso se le llama sincretismo, que es lo que se celebra actualmente.
no one said it is from Spain
@@cristincik91 There was another video that said it has changed over the years to incorporate Catholic beliefs along with Aztec culture.
@@ciaragarrity6425 I probably should not say this but, if I remember well, someone very important in the Mexica Empire said: "We are surrendering to survive". Let them keep on dreaming as long as we do not forget who we are and where we are." In plain sight, we still thrive!
@@rionoir2288 negativo, es una celebración prehispánica, antes de los españoles llegarán a México.
I'm glad to see that mexican and Filipino have common tradition 🇵🇭🇲🇽
Im not mexian but i respect and love this tradition i wish i could go
Today start off the day of the dead let us remember the children and people that we love ❤🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵
lmfaooooo at 6:24 when the priest said they didnt try to erase thier celebrations, umm no sir that is exactly what they did
I mean yes, the priests were there to convert the natives BUT a minority of them went to the new world to record and write books regarding their language and culture, its thanks to them we know at least something from the natives in mesoamerica after the conquistadors destroyed the temples and burned their books.
true!
Sooooo goood I’m so fascinated!
For those discussing if the egg was first or the chicken, in the video it explains that this celebration is pre-hisoanic (the priest interview) and with the arrival of the Spaniards the church took what they considered good or similar to catholicism and integrated what the pre-hispanic cultures practiced to celebrate Day of the dead already. The contradiction is what the narrator says at the beginning of the video regarding the beginning of Day of the dead celebration and what those
interviewed said. 🤦🏻♀️
AMAZING PLACE, AMAZING TRADITION, FANTASTIC VIDEO…THANKS A LOT !❤️
Hermoso documental. Muy apegado a la realidad de nuestras tradiciones aquí en Oaxaca. Invitamos a todo el mundo a visitarnos y conocer nuestra cultura y disfrutarla al máximo. ¡Viva México!
Thank you for the insight! I always wondered how this was celebrated!
Beautiful💀🇲🇽…..thanks for sharing😘👏🏽
Wow que hermoso me gusto mucho gracias por el video.
GRACIAS Y ¡Viva México!
SOOOOO FASCINATING
Gracias por todo
Thank you!
The day of the dead is therapeutic, it is like the red chair, saying or doing what you couldn't in life or remembering who you love encompasses within everything the phrase memento mori, remember that you are going to die so enjoy life to the fullest.
Great video!!
Bonita tradicion con estas celebracines solo confirmo que todo es temporal en esta existencia seamos felices todos en todo el mundo.....
Stop the pollution of our traditions with Halloween darkness and Hollywood greed. Keep our traditions pure.
Perhaps its best to acknowledge both but ensure they are separate events.
Halloween is about scares and darkness and fun.
Day of the Dead is about celebration of life and the ultimate family reunion.
@@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent gatekeepers
Right , like hooking up with your own kind rather than others.
Boo hoo. Halloween is based. Halloween has its own unique roots in Europe dummy.
The Mexica were not Cannibals, thats the colonizer teachings that the Catholic church spead to justify the conquista.
Well said Bro!
Goes back over 3000 years!
¡Video excelente!
It was very good 😊😊
That’s awesome
Ésta tradición es prehispánica. Nuestros ancestros lo celebraban y nosotros sus descendientes también.
I love the day of the dead its a beautiful tradition I wish i could go
I am a chicana,born& raised in California, and as I was growing up I never heard of DIA DE LO MUERTOS, up until like 6 yrs ago! And its weird cause my parents are both from mexico".I do think its beautiful& interesting.🤗😇🙏
MUST BE HARD LIVE UNDER A ROCK 🙈🙉😭😭😭😭😭😭🤪
Some people in the video are kind of confused celebrating Halloween hahahaha
Very good video ☺️
Where the story of Coco movie came from(Mexico). Just sharing😊peace! Here in the Philippines were also celebrating the feast of the dead ( every November 1&2) and before you can bring foods, alcohol and video inside the cemetery but when some idiot started to bully or pick up some fight to people and sometimes you might be killed and some are carried guns and drugs. The government decided to change some of the old traditions to prevent those who hard-headed Filipinos. Video, guitar and foods are not allowed anymore. All you need to do is to pray, thas it. We inherited our traditions from Spain during Spaniards colonisation from 1565- 1898. 333 years of colonisation in the Philippines and my grandfather is a mixture of Pinoy and Spain inherent(Kastila).
This video has nothing to do with the Philippines. Dia de los Muertos comes from the Indigenous of Mexico. Go away.
✌️.just saying
@@NurseArielPhysiotherapists Yes , No problem , Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
Godbless Mexico some of your dialects are the same meaning and pronunciation here in the Philippines.. Peace. November is near, so sad that my government are allowed only 50% people to visit the cemetery due to Pandemic but its ok its for our good to avoid spreading of Covid Virus. Peace😊spread love not hate.
This tradition can only be found in both Mexico and the Philippines, not just similar but identical, if you know the history of both countries, it's self evident.
BECCA - SoCal you are absolutely right! This DIA DE LOS MUERTOS is a tradition that we have since the AZTECS times , THE SPAÑOLES did not bring it to MEXICO 🇲🇽, after the SPAÑOLES came was a change , because they brought the catholic religion , but not this tradition.
It is Aztec Mayan celebration of the dead that begins in central Mexico and is also celebrated in central America because we are descendants of the Aztec Mayan.
I definitely gotta make it out to the art installations sometime. Very cool holiday I need to learn more about. No need to be afraid of Mexican people they are very good.
I'm an aspiring artist so a field I'd love to learn more about is Meso American ceramics too
Very interesting video
Doesn't matter where and where it originated I celebrate it too I'm doing it again today
This tradition is practicated by the Olmecs,almost 5000 Years ago!!! this is 4500 years before the Spaniards arriving.
So then explain why it is celebrated in Spain and Italy? The Mexicans are clearly performing a hybrid of the old native traditions with All Souls Day from Europe.
@@DatcleanMochaJo Hey,¿you know that in 1519 Spain invaded Mexico? then, them homologated his cristian rituals with Mexican Rituals, and make a mix of them, because they can not erase this tradition , in fact, the celebration in Mexico was of an entire month, and the Spaniards impose the days of november as the tradition you signed,¿So you think that first was Italy and Spain and then Mexico? and I ask you ¿Are you sure?.
@@DatcleanMochaJo
No confundas, los ritos cristiano-católicos con el día de muertos. Los españoles ajustarón las tradiciones para que se celebrarán en las fechas que ellos querían. El día de muertos lo que sobrevive es la cosmovisión mesoaméricana (la muerte como algo optimista, el permiso de las almas de venir a esté mundo, los altares, etc). Mientras en Europa solo se hace una visita al panteón.
My friend is back down there in the middle of thT festivL.
What was with the many mentions of the Aztecs, even though it is Oaxaca -- home of the Zapotecs and Mixtecs -- which is so prominently featured? Also, every blasted time mole is mentioned, the narrator calls it "mole sauce". Mole is a food in its own right, not a mere sauce to put on other stuff. And that's not a turnip being eaten there towards the end of the video. It is jícama, Pachyrhizus erosus. These details would not have taken much research to get right. I mostly like the video because it shows so much of Oaxaca, but there are some real missteps, such as the priest claiming the Spaniards respected the existing Mexican religious beliefs.
Absolutamente! Gracias! Yo pensé exactamente lo mismo! Aztecas? Eran zapotecas y mixtecas! Es tontería que dijo el sacerdote, es totalmente errónea!
De hecho los zapotecos y mixtecos formarón parte del imperio azteca.
@@albertobobadilla6866Nop, tras la constante amenaza de la expansión del imperio mexica la alianza zapoteca-mixteca se defendió de la invasión mexica en el Guiengola y resultaron triunfadores. Después de perder los mexicas forman una alianza con los zapotecas a través de un matrimonio, una princesa mexica hija del Tlatoani Ahuízotl (Xilabela) de casó el rey zapoteca Cocijoeza. La nueva alianza Mexica-Zapoteca traería conflictos entre mixtecos y zapotecas.
Learning more every year.
My husband is from San Luis potosi.
Would it be safe to say most states celebrate in different ways or reasons?
But a lot is the same! 💚❤️
In many cultures death is seen and observed as a rather painful and austere way. Many times the pictures and the memories of the dead are stored away....because it is painful to remember. Mexican people have the ability to cry while dancing for joy and so we do not store our dead relatives and friends away. Our houses are full of the memories of the dead.
It's actually 8 days october 27th which starts off with our deceased pets. October 28th through november 3rd it's when the celebration ends in general for every type of person. Everydays it's a different day for certain deceased people.
I heard that loved ones come and visit you is it true?
@EMOJI MOJO
Its not because the bodies do not come back, it is their spirit.
@Billy Soto Mártires del Batallón de San Patricio :D 🤣
Dentro de la tradición mesoaméricana, tú llegas al mictlán tras morir y serás recibido por el mismo micanthecutli (emperador del Inframundo), a diferencia del cristianismo en el mictlán no hay sufrimiento alguno y cada año dicho emperador permite a las "almas" regresar a este mundo para convivir con sus seres queridos, estos debén homenajearlos como si estuvierán vivos (comida, bebidas y alegría).

Mitla was not in Hand of Aztecs. I was the Zapotecs at all times. Zapotecas were there 1000 bc while the Aztecs arrived in the 1200's ac in the valley of Mexico. I was the other way around. The Aztecs adopted Zapotec, Mayan, Toltec traditions
Even thought I had heard of 'Day of the dead.' It wasn't practiced traditionally within our family, living in the states. Even though my bloodline is of mexican decent.
The way I came across this holiday, and researched it. It was during the mid to late 80's. At this time, as being part of the LGBTQIA+ community. We had a large correlation between death and AIDS within the gay community. Unfortunately, acquaintances or friends from bars died. Sometimes unclaimed or unceremonually given a proper funeral. Dead one's families weren't too inviting or keen either, to be giving us burial sites of friends. With holloween almost being a national gay holiday. We took it upon ourselves to build remembrance selves at local bars of lost friends. Pictures, momentos, their favorite wines. One year, we even had a mariachi band play.
I've since moved away. Bars sold, unfortunately old friends forgotten from 35 yrs ago. I only came to watch this video. To think about lost one's to this new pandemic. The cycle of life. And to celebrate them in remembrance.
🙈🙉🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
24:08 lol at the writing on the entrance to the cemetery. “Here eternity begins and here worldly greatness is dust.”
The whole dressing up thing feels more like a modern take to our tradition. I never grew up with any of that, we were always respectful and came together, ate, sang and stayed up all night near our dead. None of that dressing up as death and parades.
Maybe not to you but it’s very celebrated they have always done parades they would just do them towards the cemetery and not in the town and the tradition of dressing up is we could all blend together to celebrate their day on earth !
Where I grew up in Mexico (Tabasco) we have always done this since I remember( Im 35) . I was surprised when I moved to Monterrey, in the north, no one really celebrated it, all girls dressed up for "Halloween" and it is only recently that all of a sudden all of them celebrate dia de muertos, and is funny to see that even in Mexico (Monterrey) some people still dont understand the deep meaning of it...
After studying some divine books I label myself now # KING JESUS TEAM ( Torah Bible Quran Hinduism and Buddhism ) it’s great to see different with its differences cultures around the world. My input after watching this video: let the death souls Rest In Peace instead giving them attention focus more on the living souls. From darkness to light festival 🥳
😊

Some information here is twisted we never mock death. We do this tradition with a lot of respect. Now this traditions started way before prehispanic times.
Los invasores europeos no pudieron Destruir este amor y veneracion por nuestros ancestros. Una de las bellas tradiciones heredadas de Nuestra Gran Civilización.
VIVA México 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽
Most Mexicans are a beautiful mix of European and Indigenous peoples. I personally do not choose one aspect of my ancestry for the other. It would be like choosing between one eye or the other. I don’t dwell on the “conquista” because we were never conquered but we were transformed into, as Vasconsuelos, said La Raza Cósmica. We are the fusion of the “old” world and the “new”. Our destiny is to unify the world.
@@acreymundo
The ideology of La Raza Cosmica is white supremacy mentality, it was imposed on us with such a hateful force by Spanish Europeans that we ourselves fed it to our own people into believing this eurocentric sadistic mentality and that's including the Hispanic and Latino labels on our people currently, all this was started in 1492 to exterminate our indigenous lifestyle, identity and our current well being, this is what it's called ethnocide as cultural castration and genocide on our people.
Nope it did not start with the Spanish! And don't call my ancestors "Mexican Indians" they weren't in India (get a map), they were indigenous, they were Aztec.
Not all of them were Aztec my friend... Only the people who grew, lived and Died close to the "lugar de las garzas" or Aztlan, but by the end of the day, they weren't considered Aztecs, their native tribe was known as "Mexica" and Teotihuacan's for those who were born in Aztlan but then got moved to Teotihuacan site. The main reason why most of the gringo documentaries portrait native Mexican tribe descendants as "Mexican Indians" is because they live under the same ignorance as saying "Aztec" to all of them... We had a lot of Native Tribes back here, I'm proud to be a real descendant of one of them, so please stop saying Aztec as if all of tribes were so. Please grab a book or do more online research.
Not all Mexicans are Aztecs...
La celebración a los muertos se tenía en lo que ahora es México desde tiempos prehispanicos, las civilizaciones dedicaban varios meses a este culto, el cual se iniciaba (no me acuerdo bien) en julio y concluía en Noviembre. Se hacian ofrendas y altares porque se consideraba que nuestros antepasados una vez que morian debian iniciar un viaje de 4 años en los que debian enfrentar distintas adversidades, en las ofrendas se les ponian armas, cobijas, comida, agua... Todo lo que pudieran necesitar para poder llegar a su destino, el Mictlan. El Mictlan no era un cielo o infierno, esa concepcion no existia en los antiguos, solo era el lugar en donde todos los muertos moraban. La razon por la que se le dedicaba casi medio año al culto es que la deidad de la muerte tambien era la de la fertilidad, y eso era importante por las cosechas. La historia es muy larga y pueden visitar los museos de antropología que hay en Xalapa, Veracruz y Ciudad de México. Al final, cuando llegan los españoles no pueden quitar esa tradición, asi que construyen sus iglesis sobre los recintos y usan su Todos Santos porque coincidia en unos dias con el culto de los antiguos, así, los antiguos "aceptaron" la tradición española pero los españoles no lograron que se deshicieran de los craneos ni la comida ni los niveles de la ofrenda, porque el culto a los ancestros era demasiado fuerte y así surge nuestro particular Día de Muertos, donde nosotros creemos que ellos vuelven para visitarnos y se nos olvida el cielo y el infierno, solo son ellos visitandonos por un momento.
Esa era la cosmología mexica, pero te recuerdo que había un montón de civilizaciones mesoamerica, por ejemplo, los zapotecas celebraban el Biguie que lo festejaban en Marzo y de acuerdo a sus creencias el viaje al inframundo duraba 6 meses ¿porque mencioné a los zapotecas? Porque el documental retrata el día de muertos en Oaxaca (cultura zapoteca)
that man apolinar. has a name that comes from roman greek names. apollinaris a name linked to apolo.
So sad that so many are so mislead ... once a person dies they cannot return. Hebrews 9:27 NKJV
And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.
It's not sad because this is OUR culture that has existed since pre Hispanic times. Please be respecrful of that and don't bring YOUR religion into it unless a person is willing to hear about your religion.
I love Christian Mexico ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Christianity is fake
El día de muertos, no es cristiano. Su celebración se pierde en los tiempos de la cultura mesoaméricana.
YOU CRAZY 🐒🤣
who else gotta watch this for spanish class 💀i aint sittin through 47 mins
hi! im not from mexico, could anyone please explain the meaning/significance of the day of the dead for the mexican families? :)
Pues el día de muertos es para recordar alos que ya no están con nosotros les ponemos una ofrenda con su foto, comida, y bebida que en vida les haiga gustado , como ya dije es pa recordar que a nuestros familiares muertos y que cada 1 y 2 de noviembre vienen a visitarnos ya que no se han ido siguen con nosotros mientras no los olvidemos
No llores por qué termino alégrate por qué sucedió
Espero aberte ayudado ya que no soy muy bueno dando explicaciones,
Y perdón por no traducirlp
our ancestors believed that when we died we went to a place named Mictlan, it is the underworld, but the trip to mictlan was a nine year old journey, and in order for our deceased to endure such journey they were buried with food they could eat on their way. other stories say that there were periods when the souls of the dead would return so they could feast and charge batteries so they could continue on their way to Mictlan. With the arrival and conquest of the Spanish traditions were changed so they fit the more catholic traditions and so the celebration of Dia de muertos incorporates catholic and pagan believes. Nowaways we put up altars to welcome the souls of our beloved ones that no are no longer alive, since the doors of the Mictlan open and they're alowed to return to visit us. we celebrate that for one day in the year they get to spend with us, we make their favorite food and leave their favorite tequila so they can enjoy their essence. it is a way to remember them and keep their memory alive.

Anybody have encounters with the “death” since these spirits are being “invited”!?
La musicalización del documental es la más apropiada para una corrida de toros en España o cualquier otro festival de España 🤷 hace siglos que somos independientes de España, al parecer los editores de documentales en Estados Unidos no se han dado cuenta de esto, hay muchísima música que podrían utilizar para representar el estado de Oaxaca 🙄
La Martiniana, Dios Nunca Muere, la Sandunga, la Llorona, Guendanabani, Xquenda, muchos sones y valses oaxaqueños que quedan perfectos para esas fechas por su temática lúgubre 😐 pero no se puede esperar mucho de los anglosajones
