In Honor Of Dia de Los Muertos and All Saints Day

November 1st also known as the first day of the celebration of Dia de Los Muertos and also as All Saints Day, is a day when Mexicans celebrate their passed loved ones, their ancestors. Family and Friends will gather (if near) at the tombs or gravesites, providing offerings such as food and drink. This celebration typically lasts two days ending on the 2nd of November, which is also known as All Souls Day.

Dia de Los Muertos is not solely celebrated or recognized in México, many other countries/and whole continents celebrate these days as well including: Goa (India), Spain, Philippines, Portugal, Netherlands, France, Belgium, Ireland Italy, Australia, Fiji, Indonesia, New Zealand, Belize, Guatemala, United States, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru. Also, in Chinese culture honoring their ancestors tends to occur daily, in their home. Native Americans also honored their ancestors, and would often call upon them during trials, to help lift them and provide wisdom.

As you can see, culturally speaking, even though we may look different, act differently, and think differently; we are all very much the same. We all bleed red, we all evolved, and we are still evolving. One person’s success does not hinder your success, so long as you embrace it, if you wonder why them and when me constantly, there is a self-negative thought process occurring.
