THE DAY OF THE DEAD<\/p>\n
As practiced by the indigenous communities of Mexico, el D\u00c3\u00ada de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) commemorates the transitory return to Earth of deceased relatives and loved ones. The festivities take place each year at the end of October to the beginning of November. Great care is taken with all aspects of the preparations, for it is believed that the dead are capable of bringing prosperity or misfortune upon their families depending on how the rituals are executed. \u00e2\u20ac\u201cInscribed 2008, Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (originally proclaimed by UNESCO in 2003).<\/p>\n
