pre-Columbian origin. The Mexican calendar kept several days to honor the deceased. The ceremony was dedicated to the goddess Mictecac\u00edhuatl, known as the lady of death and nowadays as the Catrina. this a character created by the Mexican illustrator Jos\u00e9 Guadalupe Posada more than 100 years ago. This figure, which has become one of the country&#8217;s badges, takes on special relevance in the celebrations of November 1 and 2 when the different locations of Mexico are filled with altars that honor the family deceased, Mexicans make food and decorations offerings at such domestic altars. In Aguascalientes, the Calaveras Festival has also great relevance- The celebrations include different events, parades, exhibitions of altars and literary contests.<\/p>\n<p>Gastronomy in Mexico also plays an important role in the celebrations. During those days the locals eat the so-called bread of the dead. This is a roll in the shape of characters; or candy skulls, which usually have the name of the deceased inscribe don them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Halloween_is_celebrated_in_the_United_States\"><\/span>How Halloween is celebrated in the United States<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Also known as the night of witches, we can find the origins of this pagan festival in the Celtic or Christian customs that the European immigrants introduced in the American continent. The festival is celebrated on October 31. During the day, children and adults dress up like horror characters. Celebrations include different private or school night parties, bonfires, and visits to cemeteries. The youngest usually go knocking on the neighbors&#8217; doors and asking for sweets. This is the popular &#8220;trick or treat&#8221; game made so famous thanks to movies and TV series. Pumpkins, spider webs or bats are very common elements of decoration.<\/p>\n<p>Although Halloween is possibly the most internationalized holiday of the deceased, the countries in which it has a strong tradition are the United States, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. As for its cuisine, during that day there is a habit of eating sweets and caramelized apples.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Samhain_in_Ireland\"><\/span>Samhain in Ireland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This pagan festival, of Celtic origin, was one of the most important in Europe until Christianity became the rule. Before that, the New Year started at the end of October, during the longest night of the year. The celebration was also connected with the end of the harvest and the fact that there were enough provisions until the arrival of spring. According to mythology, during that night, the deceased had the opportunity to return to the world of the living to reunite with their loved ones. Since not all spirits were good, food was left outside to scare away bad people. They also lit bonfires to prevent being kidnapped to the underworld. Masks were worn to confuse the spirits. This, that might sound a bit weird to us, is a tradition that the Irish immigrants introduced in the United States and that led to the current Halloween.<\/p>\n<p>The typical sweet of this night is the Barm Brack, a case that hides a ring and a penny. The person who finds the ring while eating the cake will soon marry. If you find the penny, you will be prosperous.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"All_Saints_Day_in_Spain\"><\/span>All Saints Day in Spain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On November 1, Spain celebrates All Saints&#8217; Day. This is a Christian festival in which homage is paid to all the deceased who now live in the presence of God. During the whole day, the custom is to visit the cemeteries to leave flowers and candles to the loved ones. There are also masses and some cathedrals bring out the relics of their saints. Spaniards replace pumpkins with chestnuts, nuts and some sweets such as doughnuts.<\/p>\n<p>In Catalonia, on the night of October 31, they celebrate the chestnut festival, where this fruit is consumed as well as <em>panellets<\/em>, the typical sweets of the region. In some regions of Andalusia, this celebration is known as the <em>Tosantos<\/em>. If you want to experience markets, go to Cadiz. There, the markets of Virgen del Rosario or Central recreate a whole Carnival in which chickens, rabbits, fish, and pigs are disguised. People make caricatures of the most relevant celebrities with fruits and vegetables. In the Canary Islands, they have also added a touch of joy to the night, as their <em>Fiesta de finaos<\/em> is celebrated with music and performances.<\/p>\n<p>In Soria, it is the day in which tribute is paid to Gustavo Adolfo B\u00e9cquer and Monte de las \u00e1nimas. The reading is interpreted at nightfall by actors and puppets that fill the city with art. In Alcal\u00e1 de Henares the theatre is also very present. Every year during these dates the most famous play by Jos\u00e9 Zorrilla takes place: Don Juan Tenorio.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_of_the_dead_in_Guatemala\"><\/span>Day of the dead in Guatemala<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Giant_barrels\"><\/span>Giant barrels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In Guatemala, the All Saints holiday is also deeply rooted. During these days in most of the country, altars are created in which the deceased are remembered. Many of them are homemade, and some houses have their own ones. The tradition also includes visiting the cemeteries to leave flowers, cleaning the tombstones and praying for loved ones. However, the ritual that attracts\u00a0the most attention in this country is the <em>giant barrels<\/em>. This festival was born in the town of Santiago Sacatep\u00e9quez and is celebrated on November 1 and 2. It consists of throwing barrels into the air by the hill next to the cemeteries. A jury evaluates both the design of the barrels, in which groups of friends and neighbors have been working for months, as well as how long the barrel is in the air.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"All_Saints_Day_in_the_Philippines\"><\/span>All Saints Day in the Philippines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Party_among_the_dead\"><\/span>Party among the dead<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although in the Philippines All Saints&#8217; Day is also a religious festival, this country surprises with the joy with which the locals honor their deceased. The epicenter of the party is the cemetery itself. There, from the morning of December, the 1st families\u00a0meet up to spend the day there with loved ones who have already parted. There they set up their banquet, composed of large amounts of food and drinks that will help raise the tone of the party throughout the day. It is common to see some karaokes or card games. Once the day is over, the Filipinos are in charge of cleaning the tombstones well and leaving them as they were, in addition to leaving some flowers as a tribute.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_of_the_dead_in_Brazil\"><\/span>Day of the dead in Brazil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dia_dos_Finados\"><\/span>D\u00eda dos Finados<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brazil\"><\/span>Brazil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Declared a national holiday, the Day of the Dead in Brazil is known as <em>D\u00eda dos Finados<\/em>. It was introduced in the country by Portuguese immigrants, so this religious celebration is very similar to the one that takes place in Spain. On November the 2nd, Brazilians go to the cemeteries to visit their deceased.\u00a0 Unlike in other countries of Latin America, you can only find altars in graveyards. Once in front of the tombstones of their loved ones, Brazilians pray so that the souls who are in purgatory can go out. Afterward, they clean their tombstones and decorate them with candles and wreaths. In some cases, it is also common to see personal items that belonged to the departed ones, such as t-shirts, caps or photos.

If you think that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.travel\/blog\/the-most-beautiful-temples-in-vietnam-and-cambodia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vietnam and Cambodia are just all about temples<\/a>, you are wrong. They celebrate the opening of the gates of hell. This means that those souls who have not been able to reincarnate come back to life to mingle with their loved ones. To guide them on the right path, family members must offer them food. This is how at nightfall many of the pagodas in the country are filled with believers who come to take the offerings. During the night the monks also perform chants, to redirect the lost souls towards reincarnation. Before dawn, Cambodians go to bed and the main cities are calm waiting for the spirits to go to collect food.<\/p>\n<p>This festival does not coincide with those celebrated in other parts of the world. The fact is that the date depends on the Khmer calendar.
