Disney Land Auditions London 2010



today in Mexico celebrates Day of the Dead or All Souls. The celebration has changed his statements during the course of the centuries but always founded on the insight into the duality of life and death. To pre-Columbian ancestors, the fate of the deceased depended on the nature of his death: usually ended up in Mitla, instead of the dead, but, for example, ended in Tlalocan drowned and killed in battle came to the house of Sun

Tlaxochimaco During the season or Miccailhuitontli [ 1] [2 ] the Nahua honored Huitzilopochtli, the god of war, and other gods. As part of the celebrations, women and men adorned with wild flowers and figures enclosures, floral offering to the sun, cooking holiday meals and snacks like tamales and amaranth crispy honey. One of their rituals are especially loud for modern man: the teocualo ... ritual of cannibalism [3 ] which may be derived the existing tradition of preparing and consuming the "bread of the dead" [4 ] [ 5 ]. The priests chose one year in advance who would be sacrificed, and from that moment on the treatment received a divinity. Seen through the eyes of an Aztec, the sacrifice was not a victim but a privilege and not an executioner priest but a vehicle for access to the gods.

Despite reported that the celebrations were given in August and September [ 6] [7 ], their similar contemporaries occur in early November, the displacement is a consequence of dominance in all aspects Spain exercised over subjugated peoples. The Catholic Church, who closely followed the forces of kingdom to settle in the land stripped, imposed his agenda of festivities to the Indians. The program defines November 1 as All Saints Day, the feast in which we honor in general to all the Catholic saints and in particular the memory of loved ones who died while still children. Instead, on November 2 are reminded that died this time in adulthood. One tradition, unfortunately, in decline, is that families make a gift in memory of deceased relatives and friends, stands an altar decorated with crepe paper, colorful tablecloths and flowers (marigolds are typical), placed portraits of men ones and sometimes a few of his belongings, commonly include dishes of the deceased favored in life. The belief is that this day should have absent the consent of God to visit their families and therefore we must receive the living as it should. In the offerings for children usually are offered sweets and toys. A whole work is called "altar of the dead." [8 ]

Especially the ladies, praying in those days, asking for peace of the dead.

families go to cemeteries tend these days to make arrangements of flowers on the graves, some people take the opportunity to maintain them, clean them, paint them, highlights their epitaphs ... The

sugar skulls, immaculate white base and embellished by colored lines, are traditional. They are made to brighten up the view even more than the palate (the kids think otherwise.) Each calaverita is labeled on the front that shows a person's name, so we choose to go with our family and friends, no matter if they are alive, they are present humorous.

For the Mexican dead are the days of remembrance, and perhaps because (as a way to get rid of melancholy), lets come and write his poetry and recited verses of picaresque that seasoned dedicated to the death of their relatives remote . The outside observer it might seem like a sinister practice ... It actually means your acceptance without woes inevitable end of all life. The resulting picaresque short compositions are called "skull." [9 ]

The writer García Márquez:

wanted to hide in Macondo
Death followed him
She put on her bows
And shot a deep hole
How Gabriel died?
Of Love and Other Demons [10 ]

In 2003 UNESCO declared to all the traditions of Day of the Dead Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
