    Day of the dead goes back to pre-hispanic times in Mexico. The Mayans and Aztecs celebrated it. Type Dia de Los Muertos Maya, the video is called el pib. It’s extraordinary.

    I'm wondering if I should celebrate this year. I would love to honor my Dad and brother who passed but I haven't seen any other African American people do this.

      @Alanna Smith Of course! You definitely can. Just research to make sure you achieve it respectfully and correct for your loved ones that have passed. November 1st is for the celebration of children and November 2nd is for the celebration of adults who have passed on.

      Ancestral veneration is an African spiritual tenant, and people keep ancestor altars all year. I respect this holiday, it is so close to African spirituality. The African diaspora was all over the world.

    The Philippine celebrate the day of the dead in November as well. From what I remember, every one brings their living room to their love ones graveyard and chill out and barbecue for the night or day. It’s like tailgating. Instead of being flowers you bring beer. Too bad your departed love ones can’t enjoy it but probably is glad that your are there to remember

      The Spaniards and Portuguese colonized the Philippines over 300 years ago so how did the Mexicans brought it to the Philippines?

    • @koatzingo361

      T C because Spain governed The islands 🌴 through Mexico...Spain didn’t directly govern or control the Philippines until Mexico’s independence...At that time Mexico City was the capital of New Spain and had direct control and influence over the Philippines...Philippines was more like a colony of a colony...a lot of the food in Philippines also is from Mexican origin...like adobó, menudo, chicharrón tinga...not to mention there was also a lot of trade between the two to benefit mostly the Spaniards in Mexico City
