In ancient China, they crafted funerary sculptures to fill complex mausoleums. During the Dutch Golden Age, artists touched on mortality in their memento mori still life paintings. And, in modern Mexico, people celebrate Día de los Muertos, a colorful holiday dedicated to the dearly departed.
Though this festival has evolved over centuries, it remains one of Mexico’s most historically and culturally important events. Here, we explore the vibrant history and distinctive traditions of the Day of the Dead in order to understand its enduring significance.
in Pre-Columbian Mexico. During this time, the Aztec Empire flourished, bringing with it a treasure trove of traditions.
Like many Mesoamerican peoples, the Aztecs viewed grief as disrespectful to the dead. Rather than mourn the loss of loved ones, they opted to celebrate their spirits, culminating in the earliest edition of the Day of the Dead.
During this month-long festival, the Aztecs welcomed visits from beyond the grave and worshipped Mict?cacihu?tl, the goddess of the underworld. Fittingly, this mythological figure has historically been known as “The Lady of the Dead.”
La Calavera Catrina—a secular female skeleton character that has come to symbolize Día de los Muertos—was inspired by Mict?cacihu?tl.
Let’s Honor your Ancestors and our beloved Family now with them with JOY!

“My mother-in-law was born in India and immigrated to New York, in 1964, where she married my father-in-law, a Jewish man from the Bronx. Many years later, they divorced, and my father-in-law married a woman from Beijing. I was raised a Unitarian in Episcopal schools, and I’ve practiced Zen Buddhism for twenty-five years.”
