Today we talk of a mystical place where we can celebrate the Day of the Dead,
Mixquic (which means in the mesquite) is one of the most visited place on the Day of the Dead celebrations.
The ancient inhabitants of this region is believed to have been Toltecs and chichimecas but constituted an independent population
This celebrity day dead in Mixquic is very close to the old tradition, this combination of religious secrecy of the mixture of English culture and Hispanic.
First I would tell them was death and Hispanic ...
Chimalpopoca
The codex mentioned that men were created by the bones of the dead, so for the pre-Columbian life and death were related ... life is a step to death and back again to life
Ancient Mexicans did not see death as a source of sadness or fear that not conceived as the end of existence
his immortality were to proceed according to the cause of how they died, that explain different pre-Hispanic and English sources, mention the different abodes where the ancient Mexicans continue their existence Example was a pro
corresponding to Tlaloc paradise called tlallocan there would come all those who died related to the element of water ... drowning, dropsy (fluid spill serum), gout (crystal storage disease) by lightning, etc., the Tlaloc was a resting place of joy with lots of vegetation and food
Other Tonatiuh havens like the sun is divided into East and West, the East was the home of the warriors killed in battle or killed and they were going to feed the sun and extend their daily existence
Western Sun was the home where women come to die in childbirth since they were sacrificed to future warriors bearing
In this paradise of sun also called Tonalcalli, the warriors were in a period of 4 years and then became beautiful hummingbird feathers and return to earth to feed on nectar from flowers
For all those who were not elected to get to Paradise would go to Mictlan Tonatiuh was the place of the dead or underworld
Here Mictantecutli and Queen reigned Mictlancihuatl and here come all those who died from natural deaths
To reach this place had to overcome several challenges and threats to continue their existence and this was done over 4 days after that they died in the company offered her charms and gifts. For this trip, the recently deceased passenger had to cross two mountains that conflicted with each other and they could crush, Xalchitonal should also face a terrible lizard and a crocodile moustroso trying to stop the passage of the recently deceased. Subsequently had to climb hills and 8 support a wind chill that they threw stones and obsidian knives.
After Chiconahuapan had to cross the river wide Techichi mounted on a puppy or dog Itzcuincle but this should not have a single blemish on the skin, if he meant then spots the dog already had routed to another owner.
(That's why every soul should have a guide and we have seen in several pre-Hispanic offerings when they are remains of people accompanied by these canines) good these dogs are the ones who helped to cross the Chiconahuapan. Finally
since the soul reach its destination, Mictlan, Mr. and Mrs. of the Dead take you into one of the 9 regions in which they divided the Mictlan.
is important to note that Mictlan was not a place of darkness or punishment, was simply the place or abode of the dead
was also a dwelling place for children "Tonacuautitlan" which means the maintenance tree where he had a tree that dripped nursed and milk for the children were fed
Mixquic Returning to the theme and its inhabitants buried their dead in chinampas (remember that the chinampas are bogs or mud cutting tables are attached to poles and tule tied to form a rectangle-shaped island) next to their homes where they put offerings with water, salt, pine sticks (instead of candles) and fresh fish.
This did from the moment a person died within 4 days they had more offerings. All this was done because they considered the soul of the deceased began his road to Mictlan or the world of the dead. After over 80 days returned to place these offerings and again at 160 days.
It's how you concluded that with the fusion of cultures, the dead of night is based on the belief that the souls visiting their relatives at this time. Today the current celebration is held with the concept of "the dead do not die but will live elsewhere vain"
