Summary[edit]

Description
Español: Lo más representativo de México en estos días es (a comparación de Estados Unidos, quienes festejan Halloween pidiendo calavera y disfrazándose de monstruos, México le festeja a los muertos) se deja una ofrenda, fuera o dentro de la casa tratando de llenarla especialmente con comida, no cualquier comida, comida que a esa persona o personas a quienes va dirigida la ofrenda les halla gustado. Fotos de las personas que fueron inspiración para este altar llenan el lugar; rodeadas de flores de cempasúchil (también llamada "flor de muerto" ésta es de colores vistosos como amarillo fuerte o anaranjado, originaria de Mexico, la flor de cempasúchil se adapta a distintos hábitats y es una especie medicinal usada con mayor frecuencia para el dolor de estómago). Por otro lado están las velas que tienen uno de los más profundos significados en estás ofrendas: se dice que las velas ayudan de guía a los muertos para que cada uno de ellos llegue a su respectivo banquete; lo anterior nos habla de una característica muy importante en la cultura mexicana, la idealización de que tras la muerte existe otra vida, esta idea es creada gracias a la religión católica( cabe mencionar que en México el 83% de la población es católica); sacando como segunda conclusión que el mismo porcentaje de la población, en México, se dedica a poner un altar para sus muertos. Papel picado, representativo también por usarse como ornamenta en estos días (es una artesanía trabajada en México) se distingue por su variedad de colores y tamaños pero sobretodo por las figuras que se forman tras varios recortes, que al extender el papel se vuelven huecos y forman diversas figuras; y por ultimo el tan famoso pan de muerto hecho únicamente por mayoría en el mes de noviembre ya que es un tipo de pan preparado especialmente para ésta festividad.
