BRIEF REVIEW OF THE DAY OF THE DEAD
We all know that deep sleep from which we are not ever waking up. It scares and anguish when this is close to us or someone we love. It is said that Mexico will make fun of death, the face and the ridicule, but what few know is that the origin of this tradition is pre-Hispanic, because the Aztecs had very rooted in their culture of death, symbolized by Mictlantecuhtli goddess (who died a natural death, came to "Mictlan"). The Day of the Dead feast celebrated the beginning of the harvesting of crops. Symbolizing the end of a cycle.
In Mexico, the first of November is the feast of All Saints, ie all who are in heaven, baptized children and all the saints, the Virgin Mary, among others. The offerings of the second of November, which are held every year, lately they have been called "The Cult of the Dead." According to the Catholic Church, the second of November is a day appointed to pray for our dead who died forgiven, so God purifies the soul. This tradition varies according to the custom of each region or state. The dead are offered food, alcohol and cigarettes, according to the tastes and vices which they have in life.
It is unfortunate that so far this day that is filled with great tradition see obscured by the appearance of the famous "Holloween". Please value the beauty of our traditions.
As is tradition, the day 1 and 2 of November we warmly remember our loved ones who have already left this world, and are enjoying eternal peace. All week it was for cleaning the cementary so we all could be with them these two days, people gradually came to clean the graves of their loved ones, and on Sunday several grave with flowers and wreaths, some with offerings that were the tastes of those who rest there.
The cementary was looking very beautiful as is the custom every year, the 2nd day we had the Mass at noon, many people attended the celebration to remember their loved ones, before starting the mass was read the list of most of the faithful departed rest in this cemetery, after the Mass, some of the people who came brought food to share and be with their loved ones all day, later was praying the rosary for all the faithful departed, to then continue with a little music and cheer this day to be near our loved ones, to feel them again and remind us about fondly. Well, here I leave a small review of what happened in these days, some images for you to see the joy that was experienced, my partner Gama will bring to you more notes from this event.

Todos conoceremos ese sueño profundo del cual no hemos de despertar nunca. Nos asusta y ángustia cuando esta cerca de nosotros o de alguien a quien queremos. Se dice que los mexicamos nos burlamos de la muerte, que la afrontamos y la ridiculizamos, pero lo que pocos saben es que el origen de esta tradición es pre-hispánico, pues los aztecas tenia muy arraigada a la muerte en su cultura, simbolizada por la diosa Mictlantecuhtli (los que morían de muerte natural, llegaban al "Mictlán"). La fiesta de día de muertos se celebraba al inicio de la recolección de las cosechas. Simbolizando el fin de un ciclo.
En México, el primero de noviembre es la fiesta de todos los santos, es decir de todos los que están en el cielo, los niños bautizados y todos los santos, la virgen maría, entre otros. Las ofrendas del dos de noviembre, que año con año se celebran, últimamente se les han llamado "El Culto a los Muertos". Según la iglesia católica, el dos de noviembre, es un día señalado para pedir por nuestros difuntos, que murieron perdonados, con lo que Dios purifica sus almas. Esta tradición varia según la costumbre de cada región o estado. A los difuntos se les ofrece comida, alcohol y cigarros, según los gustos y vicios que hayan tenido en vida.
Es una pena que ahora este dia tan llenos de mucha tradición se vea oscurecido por la aparición del famoso "Holloween". Valoremos lo hermoso de nuestras tradiciones.

El panteon se veia muy hermoso como es costumbre cada año, el dia 2 se tuvo la misa al medio dia, mucha gente acudio a la celebración para recordar a sus seres queridos, antes de iniciar la misa se dio lectura a la lista de la mayoria de los fieles difuntos que descansan en este cementerio, despues de la Santa Misa, algunas de las personas que acudieron llevaron comida para compartir y estar junto a sus seres queridos todo el día, mas tarde se rezo el Santo Rosario por todos los fieles difuntos, para despues continuar con un poco de musica y alegrar este dia de dicha por estar junto a nuestros seres queridos, para sentirlos de nuevo cerca de nosotros y recordarles con mucho cariño. Pues aqui les dejo un pequeña reseña de lo acontecido en estos dias, unas imagenes para que puedar ver la alegria que se vivio, mi compañero Gama les traira mas notas de este acontecimiento.
