Within the set of cultural manifestations that take place in the State of Michoac\u00e1n, there are undoubtedly those that have to do with the celebrations framed in what is commonly known as \u201cnight of the dead\u201d and that in Michoac\u00e1n and particularly in the Pur\u00e9pecha indigenous communities , are of particular importance for being one of the ritual expressions with deep significance, beyond its unique showiness.<\/p>\n
During previous days and particularly on November 1 and 2 of each year, the pantheons and houses where \u201cwaiting\u201d is done are covered with cempasuchil flowers, candles, fruit, bread, incense. Altars and graves are adorned profusely, food and drink is prepared and shared, an offering is brought, prayed, there is a festive atmosphere and at the same time there is a deep sense of community and ceremonial order.<\/p>\n
What makes this celebration, permanence of the millenary past itself and appropriation and reinterpretation of other beliefs and cultures, can remain and renewed year after year in what is known as “Animecha Ketzitakua” among the communities: Offering to the Souls.<\/p>\n
The Day of the Dead in Mexico has its origins in the pre-Hispanic era, ethnic groups such as the Mexicas, Mayas, Pur\u00e9pechas, Nahuas and Totonacas celebrated it in the ninth month of the Mexican Solar Calendar and was presided by the Goddess Mictecac\u00edhuatl (Lady of Death).<\/p>\n
The spiritual conquest imposed by the Spaniards produced an interesting religious syncretism. One of the richest demonstrations of this mix is \u200b\u200bthe night of the dead, where the indigenous concept of death plays with the Christian ideas of “beyond.”<\/p>\n
It was believed that the dead needed food to reach their final destination, so that when they died, food, water, offerings and various objects were left next to them. This tradition was mixed and adapted to the Christian calendar on November 1 and 2. November 1 is Todos los Santos dedicated to the deceased children and day 2 to the elderly deceased. It is believed that these days the deceased return to visit their loved ones.<\/p>\n
