Día de los Muertos / Day of the Dead | Artbound | Season 10, Episode 3 | KCET

[@starry_sky111]

Día de los muertos 💀 comes from Mexico. There are other cultures that also honor their dead but in different ways. Mexicans have a very unique way of doing it. I think it’s cool that people hold onto their roots in LA and in around the world. I hope it never gets lost because that’s where our bloodline comes from whether we like it or not. We should be proud of our roots and we should pass it onto future generations. I feel very proud to be Mexican American! 🇲🇽 🇺🇸 my heart ❤️ feels very Mexican even though I was born in the U.S.

[@sdhokie]

With the growing* popularity of the holiday, Día de Muertos isn't going anywhere. What I hope is that people always acknowledge that it's much more than painting your face as ornately as possible. It is forever about celebrating the lives of our ancestors and those we've lost.

[@OscarHernandez-iu6nn]

Are you proud of Donald trump’s followers Olso ?????? Hahahahahhahahahhahah 🤣

[@doladutta-roy8937]

Please continue to feel proud of your heritage. Also do remember that a large part of the USA belonged to Mexico at one time and it was after the Mexican-American War when a lot of it was lost to the Americans. There's no need to feel like an outsider. 😊

[@frstnmlstnm8484]

Día de los muertos is the Mexican version of All Souls Day which is celebrated by many Catholic cultures around the world. For example in Italy, Spain and Poland people also visit the cemeteries on Nov 2 to clean the grave sites, light candles, leave flowers or special foods, it is a day to remember one's loved ones who have passed. This holiday isn't pagan, it's Catholic.

[@RealBobEvans]

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

If it wasnt for Coco I wouldnt know or appreciate Day of the Dead. One of my best friends that lived with me showed me how to set up an ofrenda. So if it inspired even just a few not latinos to understand, appreciate and even celebrate Dia de los Muertos, that is a good thing.

[@alexandrakennedy4033]

Wonderfully done! Beautifully shot, and I love the stories about how the Chicano movement brought about the revitalization of Día de Los Muertos to L.A. Being a chicana myself, my parents didn’t grow up celebrating this tradition because my grandparents had lost it or didn’t see it necessary when assimilating to the U.S. culture. So because of this I barely discovered this tradition in high school, and then started celebrating it when I went to college. My grandparents were from Guanajuato as well, and I felt such a connection to the woman visiting her grandmothers homeland. Her story was the most profound and I thank you for sharing it💜

[@Becky_Cal]

Sorry, Europe, stop trying to take credit for everything. No! The skulls are tied to the pre-Hispanic cultures and not only the Aztecs. This tradition has been celebrated in Michoacan by the Purepecha people who celebrate it to this day. And the Aztecs celebrated a month-long festival honoring the “Lady of the Dead” where images nd costumes of skulls and skeletons were used. Please STOP having white people opine or speak of a culture they have no knowledge of and trying to twist our culture to somehow give credit to “white Europeans.” And someone from Otis College speaking on the matter as if she were an “expert”...please 🙄👎🏼 “The indigenous culture of skulls and the death-goddess Mictecacihuatl is common in pre-Columbian art. Lady of the Dead, Mictecacihuatl, was keeper of the bones in the underworld, and she presided over the ancient month-long Aztec festivals honoring the dead. Since the pre-Columbian era, Mexican culture has maintained a certain reverence towards death...”

[@thelmalg9439]

Becca.LAGirl omg! I loved this video, but that very part of it annoyed me. The skulls represent the tzompantli and the ancestral practice of taking the loved one out of their place of rest one time a year to share with them. Most ppl in Mexico don’t do this anymore but our ancestors used to do it. So yeah this is not a European influence.

[@jolulura]

Debe ser difícil para los sajones lograr explicar esto desde una perspectiva distinta y creo es atendible. Adolecen de una visión eorocentrica que no pueden eludir porque seria negarse a si mismos (sin animo de ofender ni de menospreciar). El día de muertos no se circunscribe a mesoamerica, el asunto es mucho mas antiguo y complejo, pero yo lamento mucho que el pueblo sajón estadounidense no este integrado aquí, no aun. Entonces deberá producirse un ejercicio de sincretismo lento para que estas culturas tan distintas y en ocasiones tan distantes logren unificar el simbolismo poderoso de todo esto. Yo admiro al pueblo norteamericano pero mantengo muy firmes mis raíces (y debo decir que no es solo por voluntad) es algo que esta dentro de mi que no podría explicar de forma simple, soy mexicano y heredero de historia y tradiciones muy antiguas y deseo en el alma que la norteamerica blanca encuentre su raíz y su lugar, porque hay un lugar que existe en el tiempo y la historia que es de ellos y debemos respetarlo. Creo que solo entonces podrán iniciar ese ejercicio de sincretismo para mezclarse en igualdad de condiciones.

Let's see, please do not confuse people, especially foreigners, the day of the dead is a 100% Mexican tradition that has existed for many years in what is central and southern Mexico of its aboriginal tribes that has been saved and It exists to this day ... it descends from the Aztec tribes, Toltec Mayans, Teotihuacanos, Zapotecs, Purepechas etc. Nativi de Mexixo before the Spanish conquest.

[@m.ed.pedroalbertoperezgarz7210]

Nor is it celebrated throughout Mexico because Mexico is many cultures and miscegenation of various countries I live in the north of Mexico I am mestizo and here almost the original tribes were exterminated when the first Spaniards arrived ... I am Mexican I was born in Mexico but here it is Most of us are descendants of Spaniards and other nationalities and one or another very little descendant of another tribe from the north of Mexico, so the Catholic religion influences a lot here in the north in different traditions.

I know this incredible celebration of life, love, and death will outlast all of the stupidity we are currently living through.

[@larojigualda8671]

EL origen del Dia de Muertos es definitivamente prehispánico, aunque la celebración actual tiene una mezcla con el cristianismo español. Pero es inequívocamente una tradición peculiar de México y que otros países no deberían intentar apropiarse, aunque claro que la inmigración mexicana en otros países la lleva con ellos. Que otros países la disfruten, por supuesto, pero que respeten su esencia. Por supuesto hoy en día incluye "nuevas" tradiciones que no se hacían hace sólo 50 años, pero eso es normal en cualquier país, la técnica avanza y nos gustan los espectáculos a lo grande. Soy española y me encanta esta tradición. Creo que no es macabra como sí es Halloween, sino que es una celebración de la vida de alguien que no está ya con nosotros pero que igualmente llevamos en nuestra memoria y nuestro corazón. Es bonito que nuestros muertos tengan un día especial y que las familias se sigan juntando poniéndose al día de una forma alegre, y no triste como se estila en otros sitios. Nacemos, vivimos, dejamos nuestro granito y la vida continúa, qué bonito!

[@carloscarlin114]

de hecho no, el origen es casi enteramente catolico, eso de que fue prehispanico fue un invento del gobierno de los 30s por lo de la cristiada y el anti catolicismo de la epoca, quisieron hacer lo mismo con la navidad reemplazando a Jesus con Quetzalcoatl.

[@Betonrg]

Yo he estado en Los Angeles y vivo actualmente en San Francisco y en este caso nadie se apropio de esta tradición. Es una tradición que mantuvieron los Mexicanos aquí y estoy seguro que así es en Chicago y New York. Antes de opinar es bueno investigar. Eso acusar a alguien de apropiarse igual es una falta de respeto

[@frstnmlstnm8484]

Lo que llamamos Día de Muertos es lo que otras culturas católicas llaman Día de Todas las Almas que es celebrado el 2 de noviembre después del día de todos los santos (Nov 1). Por ejemplo en España e Italia el 2 de noviembre la gente también visita los cementerios, encienden velas, dejan flores y comidas especiales y es un momento para recordar a los seres queridos. Hay diferencias culturales y regionales y estoy seguro de que en las comunidades indígenas existe una mezcla de tradiciones, pero el Día de Muertos es por lo mucho una festividad católica.

Dia de Muertos is celebrating in different ways in Mexico depending of the region or the indiginous influence. I'm from La Huasteca and we call it Xantolo and every state in Mexico has its own way and tradition to celebrate it. But it's more that paint your face or costums this is a tradition of families and comunities you have to understand that is about life and understand what is the real meaning of this celebration.

The Beauty of Dia de los Muertos is it can be celebrated still during the Virus, as its always has been about family and loved ones. Parades may not happen or wild celebrations but this one particular festival can thrive regardless. Hopefully many people will take the time to honor the dead that has suffered through this virus. Dia De Los Muertos is perfect as it allows the dead to come back to the land of the living to see their families once more. Every year. The trick to the festival is its a celebration of life.

Los Dias de Muertos ,are not of Oaxaca Origins, their origins remote to the Olmec Culture, and then is a tradition and habit that was adopted and praticedby all the posterior Mexican Cultures, including Zapotecos-Mixtecos, Totonacas, Tlahuicas, Toltecas,Purhepechas,Otomies,Tlaxcaltecas, Cholultecas,etc. and of course adopted and practiced by the Maya and Mexicas, ¿can you tell me how is named the Underworld in the Mixtecan Tradition? because even Purhepechas claim to be the originators of this celebration but they donot know how call the Underworld in Purhepecha language, the says that is Mictlán, and Mictlan is of origin Tolteca-Mexica, then Dias de Muertos are traditions that belongs to all Mexicans,and was originated in the Olmec Civilization around 2800 to 4000 years before Christ era.

Solo no lo mencioné porque ejemplifique a los Purhepechas.claro que creo que cada cultura debió tener su inframundo, pero algunos aún los desconocemos entonces necesitamos preguntar, investigar documentar y aprender mucho mas de nuestras Culturas Como dato curioso,los Hindúes claman la invención de el numero cero sin embargo un amigo me dijo que ellos fueron educados por los Naga Maya.y leyendo acerca de la historia de la India en los textos si mencionan que aprendieron de unos seres que si tienen el nombre Maya en su descripción, solo que te olvidado quienes fueron entonces no seria descartable un suceso así, que los hindúes hayan sido educados por los Mayas suena loco pero si revisamos los textos nos podemos sorprender.

In current times, that's only mostly done in small towns, or in places where the actual ofrenda is set up inside the cemetery. Sometimes the marigold trail is placed from the door/window to the altar, or from a cross formed of sawdust and ash.

¿si quiera viste el video completo? El documental habla de cómo los MEXICANOS que migraron a Los Ángeles hicieron un esfuerzo por conservar la tradición de sus ancestros MEXICANOS para no olvidar sus raíces MEXICANAS. Primero, ve, lee, entiende y luego opina.

De acuerdo a la UNESCO, el "Día de Muertos es Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad." La celebración reconocida por la UNESCO se llama "Día de Muertos". Día de los Muertos no existe en México. Vivo en USA y entiendo que la gente en este país hace una mezcla del Día de Muertos y Halloween y a eso le llaman Día de los Muertos.

because when you are learning a language the culture is always included and part of it. basic.

Can someone just give me a summary on what this video is about

[@anahongow5801]

A documentary about how Día de Muertos is celebrated by people of Mexican descent in L.A. as a way to keep their ancestors' traditions. With the history in how a nun in the 70's brought together a bunch of Mexican-descent artists to bring Dia de Muertos to LA, and it also covers the story of a member of that initial group who has carried the tradition until today and is currently working on building the altar in honor of her great-grandmother, so she travels to a small mexican town to try and find her death certificate. There's also interviews with some people who talk about the tradition and what it means to them as immigrants.
