El Día de los Muertos
http://teacherlink.ed.usu.edu/tlresources/units/byrnes-celebrations/day.html
Day of the Dead also called "Dia de los Muertos," is a holiday (or festival) which is celebrated in
Mexico, Ecuador, Guatemala, and other areas in Central and South America populated with the
Latino ethnic background. The Day of the Dead is also celebrated in areas of the United States,
such as California, Texas, and many others, in which the Mexican/American heritage exists.
November 2nd is the official date for Day of the Dead, although it is celebrated between October
31st and November 2nd. These dates correspond with the Catholic celebrations of All Saints Day
and All Souls Day. This correspondence results from the Catholic Church's efforts to "find
similarities between the indigenous and Christian beliefs." This celebration has a complex history
that has been transformed through the years. Today the celebration takes place at about the same
time ancient corn festivals were celebrated, when food from a plentiful harvest was shared with the
deceased. Now certain customs vary within different regions. The best way to describe this holiday
is to say it is a time when family members who have died are remembered. In Mexico, this festival
is considered to be the most important holiday of the year.
Although this celebration is associated with the dead, it is not portrayed as a morbid or depressing
time, but rather a period full of life, happiness, color, food, family, and fun. There is excitement
everywhere. In many areas, outdoor markets are displayed in which they sell many symbolic goods,
such as special breads, flowers, pottery, baskets, candles, paper puppets, candy skulls, etc. The
main symbols of this holiday are skulls and skeletons, which are displayed throughout the cities.
Scenes of skeletons hugging, marching, dancing, and laughing are seen in window displays on the
streets. Marigolds are another significant symbol for the Day of the Dead festivity, and are known
as the "flower of the dead." Their scent is believed to "attract the souls and draw them back."
People celebrate this holiday in their households, as well as in the cemeteries. In their homes,
between Oct. 31st and Nov. 2nd (a time called "Todos Santos"), offerings of food and drink are
prepared for the dead. "Ofrendas" (offerings) are often set up in the home on an altar displaying
portraits, personal goods, clothing, favorite foods, and possessions of the deceased family member.
Sometimes they are shown at the gravesites as well. On Nov. 2nd, family members visit the
gravesites of their loved ones. They decorate their graves with flowers, enjoy picnics consisting of
favorite foods of the deceased, and socially interact with others at the cemetery. This is an
important social ritual that the Latino people see as "a way of recognizing the cycle of life and
death that is human existence." In certain areas, an all-night candlelight vigil takes place by the
graves of the family members. The whole occasion is festive, and everyone talks of the dead as if
they were still alive. During this time, people "remember, re-live, and enjoy."
The common foods eaten on this holiday include pan de los muertos ("bread of the dead"), which is
flat bread baked in the shape of skulls and crossbones. It is said to be good luck to be the one who
bites into the plastic toy skeleton hidden by the baker in each loaf. Candy in the shape of skulls,
15 | P a g e
Created by Shasta Ruddock and Sara Leonetti
skeletons, and coffins, and many favorite Mexican dishes (tamales, moles, chiles, enchiladas) are
consumed as well.
This holiday is believed to "welcome the souls of the dead." The souls are said to return each year
to enjoy the pleasures that they once had in life. They are thought to return to be with their living
relatives for a few brief hours each year in this world, but come as spirits who have returned from
another world. A widely held belief is that the souls of the children ("angelitos") return first, and
food and gifts appropriate for their age and taste will be set out for them. Everything is in
miniature: cups, plates, small breads, etc. The adult dead are said to return on Nov. 1st and they are
given the most elaborate foods and drinks the family can afford. It is believed that the candle light,
as well as the scents of the marigold flowers and the copal incense, help the returning souls find
their way back. Sometimes paths of marigold petals are scattered by the family from the cemetery
to the door of the house. The ghosts can find their way by following this yellow path. The ghosts
(or spirits) are not usually seen, but their presence is felt.
There are folktales believed and told that say the dead spirits will get revenge on the living if they
get poor treatment during these days each year. Leaving nothing (or inferior gifts) on the altar
causes the spirits to be angry or sad. These superstitions inspire many people to participate in this
holiday celebration for this very reason.
The Day of the Dead can range from an important cultural event, to a religious ceremony
emphasizing the actual worship of the dead, to just a unique Mexican holiday symbolized by
special foods and candy. In Mexico, the more urban the setting, the less the religious and cultural
importance is recognized by the people. The more rural and "Indian" the setting, the greater is the
religious importance of the holiday. Therefore, this celebration is usually of greater social
importance in southern Mexico than in the northern part of the country.
Today, the Day of the Dead is a cherished, complex holiday celebration where death is seen as life.
The common principle for this holiday is "whatever pleased the dead in life they are to have again."
It is a holiday when the whole family comes together - both living and dead. This holiday festivity
is believed to be a time for the departed to join the living in the celebrations of the "continuum of
life."

Poinsettias at Christmas
Poinsettia plants are native to Central America, especially an area of southern Mexico known as 'Taxco del
Alarcon' where they flower during the winter. The ancient Aztecs called them 'cuetlaxochitl'. The Aztecs had
many uses for them including using the flowers (actually special types of leaves known as bracts rather than
being flowers) to make a purple dye for clothes and cosmetics and the milky white sap was made into a
medicine to treat fevers. (Today we call the sap latex!)
The poinsettia was made widely known because of a man called Joel Roberts Poinsett (that's why we call them
Poinsettia!). He was the first Ambassador from the USA to Mexico in 1825. Poinsett had some greenhouses on
his plantations in South Carolina, and while visiting the Taco area in 1828, he became very interested in the
plants. He immediately sent some of the plants back to South Carolina, where he began growing the plants and
sending them to friends and botanical gardens.
One of the friends he sent plants to was John Barroom of Philadelphia, who gave the plant to his friend, Robert
Buist, a plants-man from Pennsylvania. Robert Buist was probably the first person to have sold the poinsettias
under their botanical, or latin name, name 'Euphorbia pulcherrima' (it means, 'the most beautiful Euphorbia'). It
is thought that they became known as Poinsettia in the mid 1830's when people found out who had first brought
them to America from Mexico.
There is an old Mexican legend about how Poinsettia's and Christmas come together, it goes like this:
There was once a poor Mexican girl called Pepita who had no present to give the the baby Jesus at the
Christmas Eve Services. As Pepita walked to the chapel, sadly, her cousin Pedro tried to cheer her up.
'Pepita', he said "I'm sure that even the smallest gift, given by someone who loves him will make Jesus Happy."
Pepita didn't know what she could give, so she picked a small handful of weeds from the roadside and made
them into a a small bouquet. She felt embarrassed because she could only give this small present to Jesus. As
she walked through the chapel to the altar, she remembered what Pedro had said. She began to feel better, knelt
down and put the bouquet at the bottom of the nativity scene. Suddenly, the bouquet of weeds burst into bright
red flowers, and everyone who saw them were sure they had seen a miracle. From that day on, the bright red
flowers were known as the 'Flores de Noche Buena', or 'Flowers of the Holy Night'.
The shape of the poinsettia flower and leaves are sometimes thought as a symbol of the Star of Bethlehem
which led the Wise Men to Jesus. The red colored leaves symbolize the blood of Christ. The white leaves
represent his purity.

Read the following and then answer the following questions in Spanish.
Pablo Ruiz y Picasso, also known as Pablo Picasso, was a Spanish
painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet
and playwright who spent most of his adult life in France.
Born: October 25, 1881, Málaga, Spain
Died: April 8, 1973, Mougins, France


Picasso's Full Name Has 23 Words
o Picasso was baptized Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la
Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso. He was named after various saints and relatives. The
"Picasso" is actually from his mother, Maria Picasso y Lopez. His father is named Jose Ruiz Blasco.
Picasso's First Word: Pencil
o It's like Picasso was born an artist: his first word was "piz," short of lápiz the Spanish word for 'pencil.' His father
Ruiz, an artist and art professor, gave him a formal education in art starting from the age of 7. By 13, Ruiz vowed to
give up painting as he felt that Pablo had surpassed him.
Pablo's First Drawing
o At the tender young age of 9, Picasso completed his first painting: Le picador, a man riding a horse in a bullfight.
o His first major painting, an "academic" work is First Communion, featuring a portrait of his father, mother, and
younger sister kneeling before an altar. Picasso was 15 when he finished it.
Picasso was a Terrible Student
o No doubt about it, Picasso was brilliant: artistically, he was years ahead of his classmates who were all five to six
years older than him. But Picasso chafed at being told what to do and he was often thrown into "detention":
o “For being a bad student I was banished to the 'calaboose' - a bare cell with whitewashed walls and a bench to sit
on. I liked it there, because I took along a sketch pad and drew incessantly ... I could have stayed there forever
drawing without stopping ”
Did Picasso Steal the Mona Lisa?
o Actually no, but in 1911, when the famous painting Mona Lisa of Leonardo da Vinci was stolen from the Louvre,
the police took in Picasso's friend, the poet Guillaume Apollinaire. Apollinaire fingered Picasso as a suspect, so the
police hauled him in for questioning. Both were later released.
Cubism: Full of Little Cubes
o In Cubist artwork, objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting
objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject
in a greater context.
The Blue Period
o The Blue Period (Spanish: Periodo Azul) is a term used to define the works produced by Spanish painter Pablo
Picasso between 1901 and 1904 when he painted essentially monochromatic paintings in shades of blue and bluegreen, only occasionally warmed by other colors.

Cascarones
Cascarones are brightly colored/decorated eggshells that are filled with confetti. They may be simply made by children,
or elaborate, hand-painted masterpieces by artists. Here in the States, they are used during celebrations, typically
around Easter. In Mexico, they are popular during the time of Carnaval. But really, people may use them during any
festive occasion.
According to historians, cascarones originated in China. It is rumored that Marco Polo first brought them to Italy, and on
to Spain, and they eventually made their way to the Americas. In the beginning, the eggs were quite elegant and
valuable; instead of confetti, they were filled with perfumed powders, making them popular with high-society women.
They became quite popular in Mexico in the 1860s, after Emperor Maximiliano's wife, Carlotta, introduced them to the
country. In Mexico, the powders were replaced with confetti and given their name "cascarones," the plural form of
"cáscara," which means shell in Spanish.
Today, the tradition of making and using cascarones to celebrate is mostly popular in the Southwestern United States,
though areas of Mexico still use them. Many say that good fortune falls upon the person who has un cascarón cracked
over their head - and smashing one on someone's head is actually a sign of affection. Young adults often use them to
engage in mild flirtation.
Carnaval
Carnaval in Guatemala, like in many other cultures around the world, is a tradition of religious origin, which is celebrated
on Fat Tuesday, right before the start of Lent . In most parts of Guatemala we don’t have a huge celebration like Mardi
Gras in New Orleans or Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro. Two exceptions are the towns of Mazatenango and Suchitepequez,
where Carnaval is one of the main celebrations of the year and includes colorful parades, costumes, masks and dancing.
Traditions vary depending on the area but in most parts of the country the main tradition is to use brightly colored
eggshells or cascarones filled with pica-pica (confetti) and break them on other people’s heads. Carnaval in Guatemala is
mostly a celebration for the children.
Children dress up in costumes, much like kids in the USA do for Halloween, but you will see no scary costumes: kids
dress as clowns, butterflies, fairies and all sorts of animals and characters. There are usually small Carnaval parties in the
neighborhood, in people’s houses and at the schools.
