Day of the Dead pokemons, they were made 2 years ago but I decided to finally finish them this year, they are inspired by several elements from the "Dia de Muertos" celebration
ZUKALAKA is based on the "Calaveras de Azucar"
PANDEMORT is based on "Pan de Muerto" in some of its more traditional forms
COMPARKA is based on the floats for the "Dia de Muertos" parade
And all of them carry elements from the traditional altars, like "papel picado" and candles
Here is the new lightbox that I told you about a few posts ago. This time inspired by Aztec traditions and folklore, loved by the friend I gave it to. I hope you like it! And wait for the next one!
Dia de Muertos, or Day of the Dead Animation, is a traditional Mexican holiday that is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd. The holiday is a time for people to honor and remember their deceased loved ones, and it has its roots in pre-Columbian traditions.
On Dia de Muertos, it is believed that the spirits of the dead return to the world of the living to be with their families and loved ones. To welcome them, people build altars in their homes and decorate them with bright flowers, candles, photos, and other offerings. They also prepare special foods and drinks, such as pan de muerto (a sweet bread) and calaveras de azucar (sugar skulls), which are decorated and used as offerings.
In many parts of Mexico, people also visit cemeteries to clean and decorate the graves of their loved ones, and to spend time with them. It is a time for reflection, celebration, and remembrance, and it is considered a joyful and colorful celebration of life and death.
Dia de Muertos has become a popular cultural event around the world, with celebrations and festivals held in many cities outside of Mexico. The holiday has also been recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Como se está acercando el Día de Muertos que es un día especial para muchos Latinos, quería aprender más de este día porque en mi familia realmente no lo festejamos aunque seámos mexicanos. Decidí leer dos libros pequeños de niños que se llaman: “El Día de Los Muertos” escrito por Linda Lowery y "Día de Los Muertos" por Kerrie Logan Hollihan. Me gusto hacer está actividad porque aprendí muchas nuevas cosas. Aprendí que los aztecas de México creían que los espíritus regresaban al mundo una vez al año. Y también creían los aztecas que el color naranja era sagrado para el mundo de los muertos, entonces la flor cempasúchil se hizo conocida como la "flor de los muertos". Además, aprendí que muchas personas creen que las mariposas monarchas representan niños que se murieron, o "angelitos." Pero el Día de Los Muertos no es un día de tristeza, si no para celebrar los regalos y nueva vida que trae la muerte. La gente acostumbra a decorar altares con papel picado y otras decoraciones, como luces que guían el camino de los fallecidos hacia a la tierra. Preparan comida para ofrecerles y también para merendar. Por ejemplo, hacen mole, tamales, calaveras de azucar, pan de muerto, y tamales de mole. Yo no sabia que existian tamales de mole, pero ahora quiero probarlos. También quiero probar el pan de muerto. Algo que se me hizo un poco difícil de la actividad eran algunas palabras nuevas como la flor "cempasúchil," y la palabra "cráneo" que ahora se que es otra forma de decir calabera. Además, las palabras "pliegos" y "esmero." Entonces, disfruté aprender más de las tradiciones del Día de Los Muertos.
Aquí está uno de los libros que leí al lado de la pagina de las flores cempasúchil.
Aquí está el otro libro que leí.
Aquí está una foto de pan de muerto con calaveritas de azucar.
Estamos cerca de días y noches especiales donde la luna se pondrá hermosa y habrán muchas calaveritas de azucar
Las cartas de hoy son: La Calavera y La Luna
We are close to the special days were the moon will get very pretty and tons of sugar skulls will appear
