Esta es una pequeña presentación en inglés en donde se habla sobre el día de muertos y como es que, en mi caso, lo celebro y lo vivo todos los años, es un trabajo que he realizado en la escuela y que me gustaría mucho compartir (Necesito descargar una presentación XD), así que espero de su total agrado. Por su atención gracias.

The day of the dead for me is a Mexican
celebration that in a certain way is
carried out to worship and respect death
with a bit of mockery which is a typical
Mexican touch so that this day does not
become a day of sadness for the
someone's departure, if not, on the
contrary, a day of anecdotes and happy
memories of people who are no longer
there, because this day is about
remembering and living with those who
went to the afterlife with or without prior
notice and who have come to make sure.
that we move on and that we will always
remember them with a bit of sadness and
melancholy but also with great happiness
and hope of one day seeing each other
again in the other world (all in due time).

4. WHAT IS IT?
The Day of the Dead is a popular Mexican
celebration to honor the deceased. It takes place
on November 2, although it begins to be celebrated
from the first day and its objective is to honor and
celebrate the lives of the ancestors, the beloved
dead and the exemplary dead. In this sense, they
are gifted with all kinds of offerings and an altar is
erected in their memory inside the houses.
In short, the Day of the Dead is a day of
recollection and prayer, but also of celebration.
The memory and the presence of the dead
relatives are celebrated, who that day return
home to be with their relatives and to feed on
the offerings that have been dedicated to them.

5. MAIN
ELEMENTS
The main elements of the Day of the Dead that I
am going to talk about are those elements that
cannot be missing that day, although these are a
bit simple but significant, they are the following:
-Go to the market to buy what is necessary for
the holiday.
-Put and decorate the altar.
-Place the offerings.
-Visiting and decorating the pantheon (this year it
could not be done due to the pandemic).
-The comparsas (they were not held due to the
pandemic).
-You can also not miss the typical Mexican skulls.

6. THE
MARKET
When the day of the dead
approaches, the markets are
dyed mainly orange, a very
significant color since this
color represents the marigold
flower which invites and
guides the souls of the
deceased so that they can
reach our homes which the
They will look forward to it
and with much affection.

7. .
As this Mexican tradition
approaches, Mexican families
(that were before the pandemic,
now the only ones who could go
shopping were my parents) go to
the markets to buy everything
necessary to receive our
deceased, some things that are
bought are: marigold flowers,
fruits, sweets, bread, chocolate
and everything necessary to
make the mole (this is the main
thing my family buys).

8. THE
ALTAR
The altar of the dead is a popular
offering in Mexican culture where
people remember their deceased
through a dialogue with their
memory in life, in which the living
receive the souls of their deceased.
The main objective of this offering is
that both the living and the dead can
share a moment of meeting, by
distributing the bread, water, salt,
wine, among other things that are
placed in the offering.

9. .
The altar is one of the main
elements of this celebration
because it is an offering with
which we invite them and
offer our relatives things
that they liked in life so that
their short stay in the world
of the living is more
welcoming and pleasant.
'To remember is to live again',
this seeks the altar, to be close
to our loved ones and to
dialogue with their memory of
life. The offering of the dead
seeks to rediscover the
deceased person through
memory.

10. THE
OFFERINGS
The typical offerings that are
placed on the altar are
generally the following (they
may vary as some depend on
the custom of each town,
colony or family): -Flower of
marigold, which is used to call
and guide the souls to our
homes (although there is also
another flower that is placed on
the day of the dead and that is
similar to the marigold flower
only that it is red in color and is
called cockscomb).
-Food, food is an offering that cannot be missed
and that depends on what the deceased liked
when he was alive.
-Sweets, sweets is something that my family
cannot miss, regardless of whether our
deceased are not children, this cannot be
absent since we love sweets in the family.

11. .
-Photographs, these are essential at
the altar because that way we know
who we are remembering and
offering what they liked.
-Drinks are very important because it
is said that souls travel a long journey
to visit us, so they arrive home very
thirsty, so it is essential to have a
drink to offer them.
-Incense, my mother says
that incense is placed to
somehow purify the air so
that our deceased better
enjoy what we offer them.

12. DEAD BREAD
Well this recipe is well known because in
some way it is easy to make, it is the bread
of the dead but the bread I will talk about is
the one that my grandmother makes,
because it is special for the day of the dead.
The ingredients and the recipe are the same
as making a normal bread. The only thing
that makes this bread different from others
is that it is made like a small doll so that
when cooked they are fluffy and soft, and
that they take on a cookie texture when you
remove them from altar of the day of the
dead.

13. RECIPE: ¨BACHITOS¨
The ¨bachitos¨ are bean tamales,
which are typical in my father's
town which is called ¨Santa
Maria Zoquitlán¨ and they are
usually made when someone dies
or when there is a party, in my
opinion it is the type of I like the
tamale the most because
although they make them in
other places in some way, the
flavor changes a lot compared to
what they make in this town.

14. Santa Maria Zoquitlán is a
town located in the central
valleys of Oaxaca. My paternal
grandfather is originally from
this place and it is here where
my father grew up.
In this town, as I mentioned,
the so-called bachitos are
made, which are tamales of
several layers where between
each layer there is bean paste
which becomes spicy because
it tastes better.

15. INGREDIENTS
The main ingredients
that this dish has are:
• Bean (in paste).
• Dough (ground corn).
• Totomosle.
• Butter.
• Avocado leaves.
• Salt.

16. 1. First we must put the
nixtamal (corn with lime) so
that when it is ready we take
it to grind and we can obtain
our dough to make our
tamales.
2. After we have taken our
nixtamal to grind and we
have our dough, we must put
a little natural or vegetable
butter according to your
liking, we put a little and
knead well with our hands.
PREPARATION MODE

17. PREPARATION MODE
3. While we were making our
nixtamal we must have made our
bean paste and for this we must
have washed and dried our beans
well and then put it to boil.
4. After our beans were ready as
well as the nixtamal we took
them to grind to have our pasta.
5. When we have our ground
beans we proceed to make the
paste to which we add a little
chili, avocado leaves and salt.

18. PREPARATION MODE
5. When we have our dough and our
bean paste ready, we will proceed to
make our tamales so we take a little
of our dough and make a large and
a little thin layer, then we will place
a little bean paste and continue
making layers until We have a
thickness of at least 3 or 4 cm and
since we have a large rectangle now
we will cut it with a knife into
smaller rectangles to place them
inside the totomosle and thus place
them in the tamalera to heat up.

19. PREPARATION MODE
6. Now we only wait for
our tamales to be cooked
so that we can take them
out and taste them, you
can accompany them
with a little sauce if you
would like more spicy
and a cup of chocolate or
coffee.

20. Bachitos in this town are usually
made when a person dies and
also at every end of the month
and year, although they are also
made when there is a party,
personally I not only like the
flavor of these tamales but I also
like it. The organization they
have to make them, because in
what the women make the dough,
the men make the bean paste,
and when it comes to making the
tamales, everyone can help to
make them from children to
adults.
