1. El Cid Vacations Club Explores Day of the
Dead in Cozumel

2. Day of the Dead is one of the most sacred and unique holidays in the world, and El Cid
Vacations Club knows the best way to experience it, firsthand. Parades, candies, and
celebrations of life after death make three days of the year must see events. October 31st,
November 1st, and November 2nd brings the entire country of Mexico to a standstill, and
turns it into an amazing scene. El Cid Vacations Club feels that Cozumel is one of the best
places to see this celebrated, and this article will show what makes their Day of the Dead
celebration unique.
Day of the Dead, or Dia de Muertos has existed since pre-Columbian discovery, but has
become a well-known event since the twentieth century. Families tend to prepare months
in advance for the Day of the Dead, and will create altars for family members that have
passed away. These altars, and the items placed on them, are meant to attract the spirits,
and have them hear the prayers of the living. A bit macabre, but Mexican culture teaches
that there should be no sorrow when a loved one dies; the afterlife is a wonderful
location, and we should celebrate their lives on Earth. Other ways that people in Cozumel
and Mexico as a whole prepare is by creating special meals and rooms for the spirits to
enjoy as they come to Earth for the three days. Some families will spend the entire time at
the tombstone of a deceased loved one, instead of engaging in the parades and
celebrations.

3. • November 1st is dedicated to children that have passed, and
families will lay skull candies and toys on the tombstones of
these children. This is also the day that parades begin, with
entire towns, such as Cozumel, face painting as skulls, or some
will wear full body skeleton costumes. The skies become red
with smoke as the town celebrates with tequila, special foods
created for the occasion, and live entertainment. If you decide
to visit Cozumel during this time, it might not be wise to bring
small children, as they may find it scary, and the big crowds
could be difficult to navigate.
• November 2nd is the actual Day of the Dead holiday, dedicated
to adults that have passed. The usual things laid at altars is
the deceased’s favorite foods and beverages, often a bottle of
tequila is present as well. More parades are had, as the
festivities begin to come to a close, and preparations begin for
next year’s celebration.
