Dia de Muertos，a MUST see of Mexico

Dia de Muertos，a colorful festival of Mexico, to memorize the beloved ones who have passed away， is the festival when  I like to wander in zocalo the most.  
墨西哥豐富多彩的節日Dia de Muertos，記念已經去世的摯愛，是我最喜歡到zocalo逛逛的節日。

It is celebrated Nov 1 – 2 and  the depictions of skulls and skeletons are prevalent, however, it has nothing to do with Halloween.  The fiesta demonstrate the mix of aztec and catholic culture in Mexico.
The Aztecs had a god of the dead and its celebrations were around the same time.  in the Aztec culture, death was a positive step forward into a higher level of conscience. It’s a positive symbol of rebirth.

每年11月1至2日慶祝，普遍佈滿頭骨和骨骼的裝飾，但是，它沒有任何與萬聖節的關係。反展示了墨西哥的阿茲達克文化和天主教文化的混合。
阿茲達克人的死亡之神大約在同一時間有慶祝活動。在阿茲特克文化中，死亡是一個正面的過程，這是一個積極的重生象徵。

The common display is an altar decorated tremendously, with the incense to sends prayers to the gods, the bread depicts the body of Christ, sugar skulls as a reminder that death is always present and liquor reminds people of the good times. Special candy and toys are made for the children celebrating Dias de Muertos. Death is not feared, but laughed at in Mexico.  Catrinas, skeletons of an upper class woman, are shown as popular symbolic features in everywhere.  Pan de Muertos is the popular bread shared during this period， worth a taste of it!

常見的裝飾包括巨大的祭壇、向神發送祈禱的香、代表基督身體的麵包，頭骨糖
提醒人們死亡總是存在的，酒描繪了美好時光。特別的糖果和玩具是為孩子們而設，死亡在墨西哥是以微笑迎接的，不是可怕的。 無處不在的裝飾Catrinas，是一個上層階級婦女的骨骼公仔。 Pan de Muertos是在此期間共享的麵包，值得一試。
