Anyone else here because they’re genuinely interested in learning about their culture in order to properly celebrate their passed loved ones? 🙋♀️
Yup. Assimilation sucks. My grandparents refused to teach the family anything about our own culture because they were taught that they had to fit in to survive. Have to learn everything from scratch on my own now.
Orale!
Yes 🙋♀️
Yup! I’m here to learn about and embrace my culture as a Mexican-American 💀🥰
Kind of. My teacher is making us learn it before we design our own sugar skull
For those of you who are here for Spanish class, the lady got a few things wrong.
1) Marigolds are not just "Flowers of the dead". Marigolds are known for being natural pesticides, many people plant them around their crops, not only to keep away bugs and anything that might be harmful to their food but also because they are amazing at attracting pollinators for the crops. Because of this, it is believed that putting marigolds on your ofrenda will ward away any bad spirits or negative feelings while attracting your loved ones to your altar.
2) You don't cut the tissue paper and decorate the ofrenda just to make it look nice and to honor Jesus Christ and your loved ones (although that is a part of it). It is believed that because you have put so much of your energy, money, and time into decorating your ofrenda and your loved one's grave, all that energy you put into it will help create a doorway at your ofrenda to allow your loved ones to cross from the spirit world into the land of the living. Most (not all, because some don't believe in this part and believe you must create a trail of marigolds leading from your loved one's grave to your ofrenda in order for them to find their way to you) ofrendas have some sort of arch or rectangular frame of marigolds in the back of it, and this is because it is believed that since the marigolds attract your loved ones, putting them in that shape will channel all the energy you put into the ofrenda into a sort of spiritual doorway for your loved one to come into the land of the living.
3) (She didn't explicitly SAY this, but I don't think she really made it clear enough) Dia de los muertos is NOT a time to mourn your lost loved ones. It is meant to celebrate the memories you made with them or the legacy they left and the fact that they were alive, as well as a time to appreciate the people you love that are still with you. It is a time to acknowledge that they were here, and they were and still are a *person,* who could think and feel and smile and laugh and cry and do all of these amazing things while thinking about how lucky you are that you get the privilege of being able to do the same.
So could you use fake marigolds? Idk where on earth I would get 4 miles of marigold. Or could I use candles? I could get 4 miles of candles. Thanks for you're explanation. Although I am not Mexican my husband is and wanted to celebrate day of the dead. I had no idea how to now I know a tiny little bit. He doesn't know much he moved to the US when he was 7 and his family didn't celebrate it after coming to the states. The marigolds will be the hardest part thats a ton of flowers.
You forgot Daniel Craig as "James Bond" NOW THAT was an epic day of the dead celebration!
Thank you for ur information, appreciate that
Best comment here by a landslide. Thank you.
My friend is Spanish and through her I’ve been getting in touch with Mexican culture and it’s beautiful, with a vast and rich history and I enjoy learning about it.

¿Dónde están las voces mexicanas para contar estas hermosas tradiciones?
Thank you so much. I shared this with all my classes.
We made sugar sculls in my Spanish class and a kid got sick because they wanted to eat it 🤦🏽♀️
With which ingredients did you prepare it? Actually the original you can eat it
lmaooooooo
You are supposed to eat the candy skulls, they are not only decoration but also edible, just not TOO much though, because its so sugary.
You should allow auto CC and that way youtube could auto translate.
it would be very helpful for taking notes
@@novv__ right
I promise it would be wrong at least 50% of the time.
Sarah_noodle It is not a perfect translation but it's better than not understanding the video at all. I would say it's probably closer to 90% right at least for Spanish from English.
Thats why my teacher love this video cause it doesn’t have auto cc 😂
I had to pick a Spanish holiday to present in Spanish with a PowerPoint and was immediately drawn to this holiday! Now that I've researched and watched this video, I really, genuinely love this holiday!
When I chose it I didn't even realise the presentation would be in the same week it's celebrated! Now I'm excited!!
mexican holiday darling.
This isn’t a “Spanish holiday” the holiday it’s older than the Spanish empire itself. It goes all the way back to the Olmecs
Not Spanish at all, this is a mexican holiday
@@maltratar.
Also Mexican American Holliday.
Student: please i want to see my family
Teacher: *then beg in spanish*
great video, now i have to write a 250 word review on this in spanish.....
You even take your complaints to youtube. Lmao

@Victoria Park yes yes
I’m here to learn a little bit more of my Mexican heritage and día de Los muertos 💀 true meaning
Thank you for this clear info
Perfect video for my Spanish students as an introduction to this holiday. Thank you.
I hope you also taught your Spanish students about the death and destruction of an ancient civilisation, that Cortez and his cronies brought to South America, under the guise of religion, but it was all about the gold.

Irma B Benavidez Thank you! I will check this video out as well.
Sam da Silva I teach my students about many different perspectives in my classroom and more importantly I teach them to research and think critically about all sides of the story. I want them to use information to think for themselves and learn to become educated individuals in our society. It isn’t my job to tell them what to think, but rather how to continually find all perspectives and to develop their own thoughts.
@@juliewubben2335 well, it wasn't an opinion... What the commenter said is true, it's a historical fact, and is even backed by what is said in this video you plan to use.
I remember when i was 11 and they ask us to wrote 3 calaveritas, and I wrote one to the Pricipals telling how La calaca came for him when he was counting the money of a scam he did some months before......remember my teacher laugh, but that didn't save for taking extra homework for a whole week.
That is the best one I have heard yet ha ha
im looking for who asked
@Robbie Morales did you on purposely scroll down to the comments section to see what others had to say? Yes.

Glad they said "American halloween" also known as All hallows eve. An ancient pagan night, existed for centuries before "America" even existed.
Did that woman actually say "cultural mash up". Lady it's not a Glee mash up.

🏀🏈🏀🏀
Here to learn more about my father's side.
Especially since I can't just ask him.
Also the spanish did not 'conquer' Mexico.…Let’s call it what it is. It was an invasion. It was a war. It was colonization. That word conquest implies an extermination of a culture over another and that's not what happened.
NO NOT QUITE! The Spanish used the opportunity to empty their jails of European undesirables. They brought with them diseases unknown in the new world. Measels. influenza and typhoid were unleashed. This more than anything else wiped out the indigenous peoples on a scale not seen since the modern plague of pandemics in Mexico.
Let's turn to God Shepherd's Chapel explains the whole Bible God bless
omg I need the freakin CC so I can take my notes for my Spanish class assignment UGHHHHHHHHH
Honestly if any of you guys need help we can translate, a few of the Mexicans here will gladly do it !
@@oldchild527 same thing i have to do
I freaking know right like half of the freaking stuff I couldn't spell
Look I have no issue with white people trying to learn the culture, but it bothers me that it was ONLY her, and no one else, possibly someone from Mexico to explain the culture in more depth.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Did she really say "cultural mash up and Cortez in the same sentence?????
She did
@Robbie Morales your so funny sike

Santa muerte 💀👑🌹💐🍎🍏🚬💵🍬🍫☕🍺🔔⏳🔮🌎💙💜💚💛❤👍
It says "Día de Muertos, not "Día de LOS Muerto".
@Robbie Morales boy stfu
The "Los" part was added as part of a reverse translation. Día de Muertos was translated into English to Day of The Dead. Then translated back into Spanish and "the" was translated as "Los".
Exactly!
It's told to us in the beginning that it's not the Mexican version of Halloween but then explain that when the Spanish came, they merged the Aztec culture with the Catholic days of All Saints and All Souls, Halloween is literally ALL HALLOWS EVE or the Eve of All SAINTS
Exactly. I was like what? 😅
I don’t see it as a merge of cultures actually. The indigenous populations had to disguise their pagan traditions so they had started doing it when the all saints celebrations happen. It was due to persecution and a cultural genocide. I don’t think a meshing of cultures is the term to best describe Dia De los muertos. Because the foundation, important part is an indigenous one. We’re just people who happen to be Catholics honoring an indigenous tradition.
@micmacuno you do realize that the Conquitadires you claim were committing genocide were the ones who brought you Catholicism, right?
The reality is the Aztecs were pretty brutal towards their subjects before the Spanish arrived in Mexico
Propaganda, as opposed to real history, likes to paint all pre-Columbian native Americans as one large nation of peace nicks with no immunity to diseases of the outside world, etc
This is an assignment for my class. Dia de Los Muertos means Day of the dead
Anyone here not fluent in spanish even though they've been in the di program for over 5 years...
No just me, ok
Who go all down? In chat
Watakak???
There never was no goddesses. Those were only people there’s only one God that made all humanity and the universe. Those were not goddesses. They were just people worship the dead.
Sounds like druids.
It's DIA DE MUERTOS 🤦🏽 not De Los muertos
Thanks for letting us know! Yikes, that was an oversight on our part! Thanks for watching!
Now this is the Spanish class vid.
Like if u came to this vid bc of Spanish class
The origins of this Christian holiday is the 4th century, during the persecution of Christians by the Emperor Diocletian since, by causing many deaths, it was impossible to celebrate a commemoration in the name of each one of them, so it was decided to establish one day, to honor the Catholic martyrs.
Pov: Mrs Backers is making you watch this for Spanish
yes
This is not worth you know that
FHS spanish anyone?
The fact that there is a white woman telling the “story” makes me so mad! It’s just plain wrong! It’s not racism is tradition!
As always white people love to speak for us.
How do you know she's not part hispanic or latina? My friend is "white" looking but 100% Hispanic - but her parents are originally from Mexico and their 7 children are Mexican-American 1st gen. Why judge man? It doesn't help the racism remarks to anyone... stop judging, be better man. Set an example.
Do better.
@ Probably because of her extensive use of "they" as opposed to "we".
Lol 😂 so true they always have to poke their nose into someone else culture yet they want to run us out of the country
@ until the white man accept us here in the country and we have the right as latinos and Mexicans to have more say I won’t stop
im too lazy to watch this whole video help me
Los muertos nada saben Eclesiastes 9 : 5 .-
We're tired of culture appropriation, they want to eat tacos alone.
Día de los muertos no existe , nosotros los Mexicanos festejamos el " Día de muertos "
What google it then.
why is a white person speaking about my indigenous culture. wouldn't it have been better to hear from someone who grew up with that tradition.
i came here to say the same thing.
First thing I thought about too
Dude who cares everyone has lost someone dear to them and everyone has good memories of those loved ones. This is a universal holiday if you think about it that way. Dia de los muertos is a popular tradition that is catching on as a celebration in other parts of the world.
Bros, no se peleen. Sé que se siente bien qlero que "güeritos" esten explicando nuestra cultura, pero, piénsenlo. Si lo hacen, es porque les gustó (como dijo el chavo de abajo) y... créanlo o no, ésa también es una forma de racismo. So, no seamos así. Defendamos nuestra cultura frente a personas que la atacan... no contra personas que intentan dar a conocerle a los demás que México es la chingonería.
And, I speak English too but I though it would be sound better these in Spanish.
She acknowledges and respects the culture. Calm down.
Why do you have someone who can’t speak Spanish explain Mexican culture?
No one celebrated Dia de Los Muertos until like 2008. It’s just All Souls’ Day with a different name for political reasons. The Aztec stuff is a bunch of completely made up fluff.
You are way off ask my family in Zacatecas... Hell even my sister en la Capital ( Mexico D.F )
did anyone come up with 20 facts while watching this???
You have been taught that there is no salvation outside the Roman Catholic Church, but the reality is that salvation does not come by a church, but only comes by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, apart from any of our own works.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” - Ephesians 2:8-9
You have been taught that church tradition and words of clergy matter just as much, if not more, than what the Bible teaches, but the reality is the Bible is sufficient for all doctrine and instruction.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” - 2 Timothy 3:16-17
You have been taught that Mary and the saints can mediate on your behalf before God the Father, but the reality is that Jesus Christ, God the Son, is your only mediator before God the Father.
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” - 1 Timothy 2:5
You have been tricked into placing your hope of eternal salvation into a piece of bread and cup of wine that the priest claims transforms into Christ’s flesh, but the reality is Christ shed his blood only once to pay the forgiveness for all your sins forever.
“And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man (Jesus Christ), after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God” - Hebrews 10:11-12
You have been taught that after death most people go to purgatory for a final cleansing before they’re worthy of Heaven, but the reality is that the blood of Jesus washes away all sin and purgatory does not exist - if you place your trust in this you will go to Heaven by Jesus’ righteousness, but if you place your trust in the church, water baptism, idols, or anything else, you will go to Hell.
“And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses” - Colossians 2:13
“Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” - Romans 3:24-26
I pray you consider what God’s word says. God alone justifies a repentant sinner when the sinner places their trust in Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ alone. Do not let some church or false teacher lead you to Hell.
“But as many as received him (Jesus Christ), to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” - John 1:12-13
ALL OF THIS IS RACIST PROTESTANT PROPAGANDA, THE PRODUCT of some BRAIN WASHED and unhinged fanatic who knows nothing about Mexico the Mexican people or its historical origins!
@@markescartin1915 I speak the true from God's word out of love for you my friend. In regards to día de los muertos, the entire day is satanic. That's just the truth, doesn't matter if it's part of culture or tradition or whatever.
"But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?" - Matthew 15:3
"There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee." - Deuteronomy 18:10-12
Look into the history of how the Roman Catholic church tried to Christianize these demonic, pagan holidays like día de los muertos and halloween. But at thier core, they are still demonic, pagan holidays that Christians should have no part in. The Roman Catholic church is lying to billions of people, they incorrectly teach the Bible, and souls are being damned to Hell daily because of the deception.
My friend, ye must be born again.
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." - John 3:3
