English: An “ofrenda” (offering) for the Day of the Dead, inside the church of Ocotepec (Mexico), a nice example of Catholic/pre-Hispanic syncretism. The Day of the Dead is one of the most important celebrations in Mexico. It is a superimposition between the pre-Hispanic Mexican traditions and the Catholic culture, celebrated on November 1st and 2nd. The Mesoamerican festival was commemorated during the ninth month of the Aztec solar calendar (at the beginning of August) and it was presided by goddess Mictecacíhuatl or “lady of the death.” During the process of Evangelization, this pagan celebration was adapted to the catholic commemoration of All Saints.
