Day of the Dead in Michoacán, Mexico (Tzintzuntzan Cemetery)

In today's travel Mexico video, we explore the small town of Tzintzuntzan, Michoacán to see how this Pueblo Magico is preparing for Día de Muertos 2018! We visit the cemetery in this village and are able to see how families are preparing for Noche de Muertos. We also take a stroll through the artisan market, where craftsmen have created works primarily with wood as well as straw.

👉What Is Día De Muertos?👈

Día de Muertos is recognized by the UNESCO World Heritage Organization and is celebrated in Mexico in some places for an entire week, ending on November 2. This holiday honors dead loved ones with festivals and celebrations filled with food, drink, parties, and activities that loved ones enjoyed during life. During Día de Muertos, deceased loved ones are also a part of the community, awakened from their eternal sleep to share celebrations with family and friends. One of the most iconic symbols of Día de Muertos is without a doubt, the calaveras or skulls, which appear everywhere during the holiday. These calaveras are found all across Mexico during this time--in the form of sugar, chocolate, painting on faces and more.

Families of loved ones build ofrendas, or altars in homes and cemeteries. These altars are meant to welcome spirits back to their loved ones. They are loaded with things such as food, photos, candles, pan de muerto (bread of the dead), and other things the loved one enjoyed during life. Marigolds are the main flowers and are used to guide spirits to their altar. This is truly a celebration of the life of friends and family and is a very intimate, joyful time to remember those that have died.
