[@SaulTPChannel]

Ashley Brown, I would like to say something about the origin of the icon of the Mexican Day of the Dead: "La Catrina" by the famous Mexican printmaker, cartoon illustrator and lithographer José Guadalupe Posada. The image of a female skeleton is dressed in European outfit from his upper class time. She is offered as a satirical portrait of those Mexican natives who, Posada felt, were aspiring to adopt European aristocratic traditions in the Mexican pre-revolutionary era. So "La Catrina" has become an icon of this Mexican Day of the Dead. I invite you to know more about this author. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qomufYtphrZqr80

True. Thank you for pointing that out. Actually the Mexican people have made many contributions to the American (U.S.A.) experience. In food, dance, clothing, priority of family structure, work ethic, and un-named others. We thank you for sharing so much of your beautiful culture. And, in our experience, Mexican (and LatinX generally) people are kind, trustworthy, helpful, and friendly folk. Please know that all U.S. citizens are not represented by the few with hate in their hearts. Peace and love, friends…. Peace and love

No exactamente. La parte de la catrina si, pero la escénica es prehispanica. Es una tradición que compartian los pueblos originarios de América, desde México hasta por lo menos el Perú (desconozco el caso de norteamerica). Después con la mezcla y/o influencia judeocristiana género diferentes formas de celebración a los difuntos. Incluso en México mismo, la tradición yucateca tiene otros matices, pero en esencia es la misma tradición de honrar a nuestros antepasados.

Such a beautiful day for many ,I lost my mother on my 19th birthday, she was only 40YRS old and had a massive cerebral BRAIN hemorrhage...I've been so sad since that day and looking at what I lost ,and its kept me down and so sad until thos day ,I lm 52YRS old now and still so sad ,I didn't know how to grieve ,I was told to go back to work, the day after we had the funeral, so another words my Nona thought it was a good idea for me to keep me busy by working and not letting myself feel the feelings I had to have a happy smile on my face at work and be happy ,well I stiffed all my feelings away , Dont do this to your children, ( send them back to work the day after they put there mother in the ground) it didn't help me at all ,in fact it did the opposite, I stayed mad at God and have the ulsers to prove it, let your children take that time to be sad and grieve and let me go through the process, whatever way they can ,I definitely should have been sent to counseling,,,,ohhh my brother was told to stay home from work for 3 months he did ,now I come from an Italian family on my mothers side, the boy is always treated differently than the girl ..in my family that's how it was ,,,damage ,I don't blame my Nona at all for the way I am ,I don't place blame on anyone, God needed a special angel and that was my mother and only she could do the job ,that our heavenly Father needed her for ,is what I'd tell myself, but that only lasts for so long ,then rage was still building up and more resentment towards this God of mine, I even tried using a new God, and goddesses ,all this would just last to bide time ,when all along I was still just Burying my feelings, and it didn't work so don't do that to your children God bless you and celebrate life thank you.

My favorite holiday of the year 🧡 don't get it twisted, we don't celebrate dead, we don't make a party about our loved one's deaths'. We celebrate their memory and legacy. Of course we grieve, and we cry. But their memory and the moments we share are way more important and we know we will see them again, it's just a temporary goodbye. Also, pan de muerto (death's bread) it's the most delicious thing ever

[@sergiogabriel8586]

I agree with you!

[@colorado17634]

Los altares no son para competir, 😡 por que para la cultura mexicana el altar es símbolo de respeto y de honor a nuestros difuntos, mas no una competición o negocio, los altares se respetan, por que todos somos iguales en el mundo de los muertos, nadie es rico o pobre, al igual no hay competencia, discriminación o selectividad para muerte, mientras que en vida muchos discriminan a otros por el color de su piel o por tener más 💰, se les olvida que bajo la misma piel por la que muchos compiten, todos portamos un esqueleto del mismo color, al igual que al morir no nos llevamos nada y representamos lo que realmente somos 💀 y por lo cual nuestra cultura y los altares son sinónimo de respeto y no de competencia, así que no estoy de acuerdo con esto de competir.

I'm an Independent Latino. Wow, this was awesome to watch, Thank you!! 3:01 This fella brought me to tears because it's SO difficult to decipher what Did De Los Muertos means.

One of the ladies said that Dia de Muertos is a celebration no only of Mexico but of all Latin America. Yes, but is a 100% Mexican tradition.

[@capacitacionyconsultoriaes6319]

Yes, it´s an only MEXICAN tradition, with AZTEC origin

[@jibaritomx]

@@capacitacionyconsultoriaes6319 Aztec culture was based on toltecayotl wich is more older culture..

It's not" Día de los Muertos", is " Día de Muertos "

Book of Life introduced the Day of the Dead in its movie, too. Wish people didn’t forget that.

[@Argadeux]

Just like she said, it has nothing to do with Halloween, and a funny thing is that there are many people from the US complaining about it (ofc not everyone) when Halloween it's not even from the US but a Celtic tradition. Also, they were Mexicas, not Aztecs. That is a common mistake cause foreigners named them like so because of the mythical Aztlan. Nevertheless officially they never recognized themselves like that, and there is no codex or official prehispanic document that identifies any prehispanic culture as Aztecs. Good video! 👌🏼🇲🇽

As a white American, id love to go experience one of these celebrations. Its fascinating how they look at the concept of death and how they pay tribute to those thatve passed away

It’s a MesoAmerican tradition. Not Mexican… it was only practiced in SOUTHERN MX to El Salvador. NAHUAS/Aztecs/Pipiles (nahuas)

[@kenichiAHAN]

[@josercarcamo]

Just a correction so that people gain a deeper understanding of the "Day for the Dead." Yes, it's "Day for the Dead," not "Day of the Dead." It's not a day belonging to zombies or ghosts as indicated by "of the." It is a day dedicated to the remembrance of those that have died; therefore, it's a day dedicated to the dead. It's a day dedicated (set aside) "for" the dead. Similarly, it's "Dia de muertos," not "Dia de los muertos." A subtle but significant distinction.
