Dia De Muertos Festival en Zipolite -Nov 1 2017 -Day 1

Yesterday we celebrated the Dia de Muertos, also known as Dia los Angelitos.
Here is Mexico it is a 3 day celebration. It is a very ancient tradition about love and respect and honoring your loved ones that have passed on to the spiritual world. It has nothing to do with Halloween. It is the opposite in so many ways.

"Scholars trace the origins of the modern Mexican holiday to indigenous observances dating back hundreds of years and to an Aztec festival dedicated to the goddess Mictecacihuatl. The holiday has spread throughout the world, being absorbed into other deep traditions in honor of the dead." read more here

Frances Ann Day summarizes the three-day celebration, the Day of the Dead:






Here are some of the things we did and saw! 
We had hot chocolate and pan de muerte with our amiga and then we went to the Dia de Muertos Festival at the Calavera Social Club for the 6th Annual Dia de Muertos Festival.


"Por una conciencia viva a través de la muerte"

Calavera Social Club colectivo conciente te invita a participar en el 6to festival cultural de día de los muertos en Zipolite (Playa de los muertos) Oaxaca.

Los días 1,2 y 3 de noviembre teatro, danza, cuento y música unidos en el festival. Este festival tiene como fin preservar una de las tradiciones mas bonitas y coloridas de nuestro México además de proyectar a Zipolite como un sitio de turismo alternativo único en el país. Este es un festival es totalmente independiente y el contenido tiene el objetivo de estimular el crecimiento espiritual de cada persona a través de las artes y de los valores humanos y nuevas alternativas de vida.


We also visited amigos and saw the beautiful altars/arcos they made. It's a very special time. Sadly one of Zipolite's beloved members passed away and so the town was grieving. I send love and light and my deepest condolences to all the family and friends and to all those that are missing loved ones.
