Yes, it's female to male. Thanks Zahra!

to be honest ... this is more like catolics celebration ... and Im christian, so I do not know all the answers, but I would give it a try...


1. Where does the day of the dead come from?
Mexico

2. How is the mexican view of dead different from people of the united states?

3. How is november 1st different than november 2nd in who is honored?
the 1st is for honor the children and the 2nd for adults

4. Who celebrates dia de los muertos?
It is a Mexican and Central American holiday, is also celebrated in many U.S. communities, mainly by Catholics

5. How did the spaniards view the celebration??
When the Spanish arrived in America in the sixteenth century brought their own Day of the Dead celebrations and Christian Europe, where the dead are remembered on the Day of All Saints. By converting the natives of the new world led to a syncretism that blended European and pre-Hispanic traditions, matching the Catholic feasts of All Saints Day and All Souls with the similar Mesoamerican festival, creating the current Day of the Dead

6. Describe a typical November 2nd day in Mexico
On this day, Mexican families go to cemeteries, visiting the graves of their relatives, cleaning and maybe paint the tombstones, placed flowers, especially flowers of the dead (zempasuchil or wonders) and lighting candles. Also at home, Mexican families make special altars dedicated to their deceased relatives.

7. What is the bread of the dead?
Pan de muerto. It's a sweet bun that is baked in different shapes, from simple round shapes up skulls, decorated with figures and sprinkled with sugar

8. Why is food part of the celebration?
because it is one more way to honor your relatives, cooking the food that they liked when they were alive

9. Describe the music that is integrated in this ceremony
as far as I know, the music heard in the cemeteries on this day, is the music that your relatives loves/likes

10. What are some of the offerings provided for the loved ones??
can be: food, pan de muerto=bread of the dead, water glasses, mezcal, tequila, pulque or gruel, cigarettes and even toys for the souls of children. All this is placed alongside portraits of the deceased surrounded by candles

Also these what are two symbols used in the mexican celebration?
two?? there are a lot :
calaveritas de dulce = skulls of sugar = have written the name of the deceased (or in some cases of living persons, in a joking manner that does not offend modest particularly the aforementioned) in the forehead, are eaten by relatives or friends
the bread of the dead
las flores = the flowers= families usually clean and decorate the graves with colorful wreaths of roses, sunflowers, among other
and more and more...

What two events might take place?

What is the role of the altar?
is the belief that the departed spirit back from the world of the dead in this, to live with relatives for one day, chatting with them, comforting them and comforting them with their loss

Each material has its meaning:
Portrait of the person remembered: The portrait of the deceased, suggests the soul that will visit the night of 2 November.
Twelve candles: While they may be less, must be in pairs, and preferably in purple, with crowns and wax flowers. The candles, especially purple, are a sign of mourning. The four candles on the cross represent the four cardinal points, so that the soul can be oriented to find their way and their own house water and salt
Marigold flower (or flower of a hundred petals): The color represents the light as the rays of the sun and water it in the form of road souls tells the direction in which guides you home
The shredded paper is a representation of the joy of the festive day of the dead and wind
Food Pure dark chocolate is prepared in the main table and put food on the liking of those killed, cooked from days before the traditional dishes such as tamales, mole, rice, pumpkin blemish, and so on. so that the dead could enjoy its essence. The food is not only for the soul visitor, but for the mourners, who partied with her and some visitors ireconosible


Do all countries celebrate this holiday the same way?
I don't know, if the celebration is in the same way, but look very similar, each country has its own traditions ...

What is the difference of how mexican culture celebrate it ?
