November 1st. Day all Souls Day as known as El Dia de Todos Los Santos.

The Day of the Dead, Dia de los Muertos, is a festival celebrating the reunion of dead relatives with their families, November 1st and 2nd.

Every year, on November 1st (All Saints Day) and 2nd (All Souls Day), something unique takes place in many areas of Mexico: Day of the Dead festivities.

In Spanish, All Saints Day and All Souls Day are known as El Dia de Todos los Santos and El Dia de los Muertos, respectively. While it's strange for most of us to accept the fact that "death" and "festivities" can go hand-in-hand, for most Mexicans, the two are intricately entwined. This all stems from the ancient indigenous peoples of Mexico (Purepecha, Nahua, Totonac and Otomi) who believed that the souls of the dead return each year to visit with their living relatives - to eat, drink and be merry. Just like they did when they were living.

Colorful flowers in the marketplace.Tempered somewhat by the arrival of the Spaniards in the 15th century, current practice calls for the deceased children (little angels) to be remembered on the previous day (November 1st, All Saints Day) with toys and colorful balloons adorning their graves. And the next day, All Souls Day, adults who have died are honored with displays of the departed's favorite food and drinks, as well as ornamental and personal belongings. Flowers, particularly the zempasuchil (an Indian word for a special type of marigold) and candles, which are placed on the graves, are supposed to guide the spirits home to their loved ones.
A decorated gravesite.Other symbols include the elaborately-decorated pan de muerto (a rich coffee cake decorated with meringues made to look like bones), skull-shaped candies and sweets, marizpan death figures and papier macheskeletons and skulls. (the Nahua speaking peoples of pre-columbian Mexico saw the skull as a symbol of life - not death.) Today, these macabre symbols and other similar items fill the shops and candy stalls by mid October. During this time, homes are often decorated in the same manner as the graves.
This may all seem morbid and somewhat ghoulish to those who are not part of that culture. But, for Mexicans who believe in the life/death/rebirth continuum, it's all very natural. this is not to say that they treat death lightly. They don't. It's just that they recognize it, mock it, even defy it. Death is part of life and, as such, it's representative of the Mexican spirit and tradition which says: "Don't take anything lying down - even death!"

The family has decorated this gravesite with favorite items.First the graves and altars are prepared by the entire family, whose members bring the departed's favorite food and drink. Candles are lit, the ancient incense copal is burned, prayers and chants for the dead are intoned and then drinks and food are consumed in a party/picnic-like atmosphere. At 6:00 pm, the bells begin to ring (every 30 seconds), summoning the dead. They ring throughout the night. At sunrise, the ringing stops and those relatives who have kept the night-long vigil, go home.
The most vivid and moving Day of the Dead celebrations take place on ths island of Janitzio in Lago de Patzcuaro. Here, at the crack of dawn (on November 1st) the Purepechan Indians get the festivities going with a ceremonial duck hunt. At midnight, the cooked duck and other zesty edibles are brought to the cemetery in the flickering light of thousands of candles. Those visitors who come are in for an awesome spectacle as the women pray and the men chant throughout the chilly night. Other candle-lit ceremonies take place in the nearby towns of Tzintzuntzan (the ancient capital of the Purepechan people), Jarauaro and Erongaricuaro. If you're thinking of witnessing this annual spectacle next year, it's best to make reservations right now since available hotels do fill up quickly.
This graveyard will be filled with family on Dia de los Muertos.

Editor's Note - Most of the nation celebrates El Dia de los Muertos, but here's a list of Mexican cities & villages which are well-known for their observance of the celebrations; Oaxaca, Patzcuaro (Michaocan), Huejutla (State of Hidalgo), Chiapa de Corzo (Chiapas), Jesus Maria (Nayarit), Mixquic (Federal District) and even Tecate (Baja California). • Story compiled and written by Marvin H.

Hecho de Mano will be sharing beautiful stories about the Day of Death for our friends, customers and family. We also thanks all the ones who are taking the time in writing an reading about this special celebration.

What is Dia de los Muertos or the Day of the Dead? Día de los Muertos is a time to honor and celebrate deceased loved ones. The celebration occurs on November 2 in connection with All Soul's Day. Unlike Halloween, which is characterized by goblins, witches, and the occult, Day of the Dead, was initially celebrated by the Aztecs to honor the memory of the dead. This 3,000-year-old Aztec ritual fell on the ninth month of the Aztec Solar Calendar, which is the beginning of August and celebrated for a whole month. The "Lady of the Dead" or goddess Mictecacihuatl died at birth, but believed it was her spirit who officiated the celebration.
Growing up along the border in El Paso, Texas, a small town separating the United States and Mexico, we grew up with the Mexican and American cultures intertwined. As kids we traveled in and out of two worlds daily. The moment we left our casitas to go to school, we entered an American world but at home we had our own language, cultures, and traditions. In the meantime, some of our Mexican culture was watered down or lost in translation. As a mother of two beautiful children, my hope is to keep some of the Mexican traditions alive, but it's taken some education on my part to consciously understand the differences.
Halloween and Día de Los Muertos is a huge example of how our two worlds melted together, however, these two holidays are quite different.
My grandmother, Maria Jesusita emigrated from Chihuahua, Mexico at a young age. She tried to assimilate to her new country and did not always celebrate the old customs. As a result, this is not a holiday I celebrated. I heard about it, but never took part. At the beginning of October, while working on a fall recipe, I stumbled upon an article about Día de los Muertos and realized instantly that this was the perfect way to honor our grandmother. She was the matriarch of our family and now that she has passed on I want to honor her on Día de los Muertos.
The kitchen is where my grandmother spent countless hours preparing meals to feed her family and where she spent just as much time sipping coffee and praying the rosary. If she wasn't at church or cooking, she was nourishing her soul with long prayers to heal her family or strengthen the weak.
Although my sister and I live in two different states, she in Colorado and I in California, we have agreed to introduce this holiday and tradition to our respective husbands and children. No year like the present to begin anew. We are both thrilled to educate our children about traditions that are part of our culture.
This is my first attempt at celebrating Día de los Muertos, so I will start small. I will create a temporary altar in a small corner of my dining room. According to tradition, an altar usually has candles, photographs of the deceased, flowers (usually marigolds), drinks and food. The belief is that visiting souls may be hungry from their long journey and the food and drink is nourishment for their journey back. This day is filled with eating, drinking, and telling stories of those being honored. I hope to retell memories of our grandmother to our children and reminisce in the times we shared with her. My hope is to keep the memory of her alive for both my children and me.
My sister Yvette — with the assistance of a florist, model, makeup artist, and professional photographer — created a breathtakingly beautiful altar. The altar here is filled with flowers, my grandmother's rolling pin, some of her favorite food, photographs of her, and the grandfather we never knew. The woman dressed as death, wearing my grandmother's veil and rosary, represents the return of her spirit. Some Native Americans believe that the wolf is a teacher and imparts a sense of family and loyalty. The wolf is an excellent representation of our love of family and loyalty to our grandmother.
Following is a simple plan if you want to take part in celebrating this holiday:
  • Create an altar with lots of bright marigold flowers or flowers in season
  • Place photographs of your deceased loved ones on an altar
  • Prepare food and drink that remind you of them
  • Place candles on the altar to be lit during your celebration
  • Play their favorite music
  • Retell stories of the deceased to those in attendance
Halloween has played a fun part in our families but now I am excited to introduce Día de los Muertos on November 2 to our families. It will be a beautiful way to honor our grandmother. The frightful visions we have of death shouldn't be so morbid, they can in fact be, pleasant and joyful.

Monrovia festival coming to Arcadia? We will be open for the festival to celebrate the big move.

Monrovia festival coming to Arcadia?

The company that originated and has produced Monrovia’s popular Friday Night Family Fun Festival for nearly 23 years may be moving the street fair over to Downtown Arcadia starting as soon as July 3.
Monrovia Friday Night Family Fun Festival
Monrovia Friday Night Family Fun Festival
While Monrovia will continue with a weekly event, a committee of city and downtown merchant officials, among others, opted to broaden the appeal of the festival to youth and hire a new event producer with no experience in weekly street markets — L.A. PartyWorks of South El Monte, which left Family Festival Productions of Monrovia free to bring the best of their food and merchandise vendors, family and kids activities, bands, and farmers’ market to Arcadia from 5-9 p.m. Friday nights.
After seeming to express nearly unanimous support of the concept in a Study Session last week, the Arcadia City Council is expected to vote on the proposal by the Downtown Arcadia Improvement Association next Tuesday, June 2.
At that time, the Council is also expected to consider a small patriotic concert and festival proposed to take place on July 3, potentially simultaneous with the kick-off of the Street Fair. The band concert, with various food vendors and possibly a shave ice truck offering red, white, and blue Hawai’ian shave ice, is also being mounted by the AIA and organized specificaly by AIA Treasurer Matt McSweeny of Matt Denny’s Ale House Restaurant.
The AIA is a non-profit group of volunteer property and business owners who are taxing themselves to create a more vibrant Downtown area of retail, restaurants and entertainment in time to leverage the anticipated additional traffic for the nearby Gold Line train station when it opens in late 2016 or early 2017.
A third AIA proposal to be considered by the Council is a Chinese Lunar New Year event on January 31, 2016, in the City-owned large public parking lot between First and Santa Anita Avenues, south of the post office and behind the shops on the north side of Huntington Drive. Producers of the show, EDI Media, have created similar events and parades in Rosemead, Temple City, and elsewhere the past few years, and say they can attract as many as 10,000 or more people. But representatives told City officials last week that they would scale back the Arcadia show to atract 5,000 – 8,000 attendees if necessary due to limited parking and to avoid congestion.

Christmas Market in Downtown Arcadia December 2014
Among recent events in Downtown Arcadia have been the Arcadia Historical Society’s dedication last September of the Thoroughbred Racing Walk of Champions, which closed off First Avenue north of Huntington Drive for the Saturday evening ceremonies and festivities. Earlier this month the First Avenue Middle School band played at an AIA event at Arcadia Blues Club on Hungtington Drive between Santa Anita and First Avenues. The past two years the non-profit Arcadia’s Best Foundation, which produced the first Patriotic Festival and parade in 2011 on First Avenue south of Huntington Drive to Duarte Road, has produced the Christmas Market on First Avenue north of Huntington Drive to Wheeler Avenue. That event, which featured the vendors, bands and kids inflated jumpers from Family Festival Productions’ Monrovia Friday Night events on the first three Saturday evenings in December, drew 2,000 attendees last year when it was co-sponsored by the AIA.
The new Downtown Arcadia Street Fair, if approved, would use that same location on First Avenue north of Huntington Drive, but extend halfway into a second block, north of Wheeler Avenue below Santa Clara Street. Wheeler and Santa Clara would remain open to east-west vehicle traffic. If the new street fair is approved to begin July 3, a portion of it may be extended a little further to Santa Clara in order to connect with the proposed patriotic concert at the Gold Line train station Transit Plaza on the northwest corner of First and Santa Clara. Likewise for any potential tree-lighting ceremony at the Transit Plaza to tie in with a Christmas market-oriented street fair.
Like the Monrovia Friday night events on Myrtle Avenue and the Arcadia Christmas Markets, the new Downtown Arcadia Street Fair would be free and open to the public. Both are primarily design to attract people to their respective downtown areas in order to attract more potential customers and businesses.
Family Festival Productions owner Dave Gayman told the AIA that when he started on Myrtle Avenue in the early 1990s there were only six restaurants in the area. Now there are more than 30.
Lauren Vasquez, senior management analyst for the City Manager’s office in the City of Monrovia, told ArcadiasBest.com tonight (May 26, 2015) that she credits Gayman and Family Festival Productions with much of that growth. “We wish him well,” Monrovia City Manager Oliver Chi added later Tuesday evening.
AIA and City officials said that type of development of restaurants and retail is exactly what many Arcadians have long coveted about Monrovia’s Old Town on Myrtle Avenue, and that the situation is tremendouly fortuitous to spark more rapid development and interest in Downtown Arcadia. Nonetheless, AIA and the City of Arcadia are expected to tread cautiously and build in reviews at 90-days and again in six-months to make sure the Arcadia Street Fair is delivering quality vendors and quality overall experience.
Funding of city fire, police, and public works services required could also derail the project. The AIA is hoping to attract sponsors to cover these costs if the City of Arcadia is unwilling to absorb these fees (since this opportunity only arose this month, this was not included in the proposed 2015-16 City budget that will also be up for a vote on June 2).
Monrovia’s decision to switch producers came as the latest five-year agreement with FFP was expiring, according to Vasquez. A call went out for proposals (an RFP) and the bid by LA PartyWorks simply scored higher, she said, even while acknowledging that the new producer has never done a weekly street market and does not have its own pool of vendors to bring to the event. L.A. PartyWorks, which specializes in rental equipment and single event planning, will take over July 3, the very next week after FFP produces its final show in Monrovia on June 26. The new Monrovia event will feature a slightly modified name — the word “Festival” will be replaced by “Fair.”
Vasquez said that while the Monrovia Friday Night Family Street Fair is intended to feature all the same elements as always, it will also offer more for young teens who are still taken to such activities with their parents but who often prefer not to walk around with their elders. The new production will make an effort to provide more elements of interest for those kids, she said.
Added City Manager Chi, “It will continue to have the same flavor that people have come to expect but it wll be enhanced with elements that will create even more excitement.”
Gayman of FFP said that although both events would be staged at the same time and on the same night, the Downtown Arcadia Street Fair will not really compete that much with the Monrovia event.
The Monrovia event covers four or five blocks of a wider street with more parking and more businesses open during the event, including a movie theater, all of which Arcadia hopes to emulate over time.
Gayman said that a portion of the crowds in Monrovia come from Arcadia, and a significant percentage of the Chinese-Americans are from Arcadia, all of whom will enjoy having the option of visiting their favorite vendors closer to home.
Although Monrovia officials feel that most of the most valuable vendors will remain in Monrovia, Gayman says that most of them have had a great and successful experience with the Christmas Market in Arcadia the past two years and are so anxious to make the switch that many have already given him their commmitment.
Owners of the Stacked Sandwich eatery on First Avenue raved about the benefit of the Christmas Market last year. The restaurant stayed open past normal business hours during the event and enjoyed a steady stream of customers, most of which were discovering Stacked Sandwich for the first time, and many of which subsequently returned.

Mothers Day" celebration is reconize and remember the value of all mothers...


        The oldest celebration of Mother's Day is mythological. Began in ancient Greece, for the festivities in honor of Rhea, the mother of the gods Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto.

        In the early seventeenth century England began to devote the fourth Sunday of Lent to all operatives mothers. On this day they were dispensed from their jobs so they could stay home with their children and their mothers. On this day called "Sunday Serve the Mother", was celebrated with the preparation of a cake (cake).
Virginia across the country Anna Javis: Mother's Day Mother
        In the United States, the first suggestion to the creation of Mother's Day occurred in the nineteenth century when the writer Julia Ward Howe in Boston organized a meeting of mothers dedicated to peace. From there, fighting for honor mothers took Anna Jarvis, the early twentieth century, in a small town in the state of West Virginia. Accompanied by a group of girlfriends, Anna began a movement to institute a day when all children could honor their mothers. That struggle helped her out of a deep depression due to the death of her mother, and soon the celebration spread throughout the country doing with that President Wilson made official Mother's Day as a national holiday being celebrated all second Sunday of May. Over time, many other countries from around the world were joining in the celebration.
A sad disappointment The main idea of Anna Javis was to strengthen family ties and respect for parents. A dream realized. But over time, the celebration was losing the sense to her. The popularity of the party did with that date became a lucrative day traders, mainly for those selling white carnations, the flower that symbolizes motherhood. Anna Javis, who spent most of his life fighting for people would recognize the importance and value of the mothers went through a process to override Mother's Day, but was unsuccessful. "No raised on mother to take profit," she said angrily told a reporter in 1923  Anna died in 1948, at 84 years of age. She received commemorative cards worldwide for years, but did not get to feel what it was like to be Mother.
According to countries

        Not all countries celebrate Mother's Day on the same day. In most European countries mothers the first Sunday of May is honored, and Latin American countries, the date also varies. In Mexico, for example, is May 10. The Mexicans decided that date by the instance of journalist Rafael Alducín the "Excelsior" newspaper on April 13, 1922. On May 10 of that year was celebrated for the first time the party. In Nicaragua, for another case, was chosen on 30 May, you know why ?. Because at that time it was the birthday of Casimira Sacasa, Wife of Anastasio Somoza, then president of this country in the late 40s Meanwhile, in Argentina is celebrated on the third Sunday of October. What matters is not the date without the recognize and remember the value of all mothers.

Pakal

Pakal the Great, political ruler and living god for the ancient Maya Mayan Emperor Pakal the Great was born on March 603, he was ruler of the Mayan city of Palenque in the Late Classic period of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican chronology. His full name was K’inich Janaab’ Pakal. During a long reign of approximately 68 years, Pakal was responsible for the construction or extension of some of Palenque’s most notable surviving inscriptions and monumental architecture. Pakal ascended the throne at age 12 in July 615, and lived to the age of 80, dying in August 683. The stairway leading down to Pakal’s tomb, within the main building in the Palenque archeological site (known as The Temple of Inscriptions), was discovered by Mexican archeologist Alberto Ruz Lhuillier in 1948, but was finally uncovered in 1952. His skeletal remains were still lying in his coffin, wearing a jade mask and bead necklaces. The tomb contained spectacular works of art, some of the most spectacular art yet found in the Maya world. Pakal expanded Palenque’s power in the western part of the Maya states and initiated a building program at his capital that produced some of Maya civilization’s finest art and architecture. When Pakal’s tomb was opened, a huge sculpture of his head made of stucco was found underneath his sarcophagus, resembling the man’s face at age 30. The focus of Maya courtly art was the person of the king, seen as both political ruler and living god. Noble images like this one served to promote his absolute power.
