How is the Day of the Dead celebrated in the different towns of Mexico?
David Zamorano
The Day of the Dead celebration is quite an event in our country. This traditional festival that we love so much and that identifies us as a nation also has different characteristics; slight variations from one region to another. Here we tell you some:
Hanal Pixan in Yucatan
In the Yucatan peninsula, the peoples of Mayan origin celebrate the hanal pixan, a cult dedicated to the deceased where altars are set up lit with candles and adorned with flowers, typical food from the region and photographs.
This celebration lasts three days: October 31 is dedicated to children, November 1 to adults, and November 2 is the Hanal Pixanoob, with a mass dedicated to the souls that generally takes place in the town cemetery.
A classic: The night of the dead in Michoacán
Without a doubt, Michoacán is a benchmark in terms of the festivities of the faithful departed, with the Purépecha tradition of the vigil for the dead on the night of November 2, where the candles and flowers placed on the altars and tombs create a mystical atmosphere that years has captivated visitors from all over the world.
They take place in towns such as Uranden, Ihuatzio, Tzitzuntzan, Jaracuaro or Tzurumutaro.
On the Island of Janitzio, the rites begin on October 31 with the kuirisi-atakua or duck hunting, where you go out at dawn to Lake Pátzcuaro to hunt ducks and then taste them.
The Festival of the Dead in La Huasteca
In the Huasteca region, the Xantolo is performed in honor of the dead, in the states of Hidalgo, Tamaulipas, Veracruz and San Luis Potosí. In the latter there are parades, contests, dances, exhibitions of altars and offerings, which take place in pantheons or squares.
Each municipality of the Huasteca has its particular way of celebrating: Most of them comply with the exhibition of altars in their homes and places of public concentration, parades of catrinas, tours of tombs, vigils in pantheons, without missing craft and gastronomic samples. .
The Xantholo has as its protagonists the dead, whom it remembers and venerates. This tradition remains deeply rooted in the eastern part of the state of San Luis Potosí and for this reason, it receives its guests with flowers, songs, altars, food, dance and music.
