El
Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead has been
celebrated in Mexico, and other Latin countries, since
pre-Columbian times. This is a very special ritual,
it is the day in which the living remember their departed
relatives. Sometimes, when people of other cultures
hear for the first time about the celebration of the
Day of the Dead, they mistakenly think it must be: gruesome,
terrifying, scary, ugly and sad. Nothing can be further
from the truth, Day of the Dead is a beautiful ritual
in which Mexicans happily and lovingly remember their
loved relatives that have died. Much like when we go
to a graveyard to leave some lovely flowers on a tomb.
On November 1st and 2nd Mexico celebrates the Day of
the Dead, at Masks Y Mas we celebrate 365 days a year
with Day of the Dead figurines, accessories, original
art, t-shirts, masks, stickers, and accessories that
commemorate El Día de los Muertos. |
