DÍA DE MUERTOS
The day of the dead is regarded as a time where the dead can come alive again.
Is a festival, is a celebration.
The dead is nothing we have to be afraid of, it is just a part of life that we have to fase.
This celebration is a demonstration of generosity, with colour and with music, not with sadness, not like someone that we lost but like someone who is still with us.
It's a multi-century experience, both for the people who make the alter and for the dead that visit.
People go on journeys with the offerings and take them to their burial places and there sort of exploring this idea of the boundary between the living and the dead.
Remember fondly the dead.
The smell of all the flowers that have been torn apart to create that atmosphereactually makes you feel that you are going to something else beyond life.
The grandmother says that they take the spirit of things and they take the love of us.
Day of the dead as well is something to show us how the colonisations and the changes in the history of our country may include the new things but preserving tradition.
To European and North American people that's not the way they understand death. Death is for their a sad moment. They do remember their in times of solemnity.
