Anyone else here because they’re genuinely interested in learning about their culture in order to properly celebrate their passed loved ones? 🙋‍♀️

For those of you who are here for Spanish class, the lady got a few things wrong. 1) Marigolds are not just "Flowers of the dead". Marigolds are known for being natural pesticides, many people plant them around their crops, not only to keep away bugs and anything that might be harmful to their food but also because they are amazing at attracting pollinators for the crops. Because of this, it is believed that putting marigolds on your ofrenda will ward away any bad spirits or negative feelings while attracting your loved ones to your altar. 2) You don't cut the tissue paper and decorate the ofrenda just to make it look nice and to honor Jesus Christ and your loved ones (although that is a part of it). It is believed that because you have put so much of your energy, money, and time into decorating your ofrenda and your loved one's grave, all that energy you put into it will help create a doorway at your ofrenda to allow your loved ones to cross from the spirit world into the land of the living. Most (not all, because some don't believe in this part and believe you must create a trail of marigolds leading from your loved one's grave to your ofrenda in order for them to find their way to you) ofrendas have some sort of arch or rectangular frame of marigolds in the back of it, and this is because it is believed that since the marigolds attract your loved ones, putting them in that shape will channel all the energy you put into the ofrenda into a sort of spiritual doorway for your loved one to come into the land of the living. 3) (She didn't explicitly SAY this, but I don't think she really made it clear enough) Dia de los muertos is NOT a time to mourn your lost loved ones. It is meant to celebrate the memories you made with them or the legacy they left and the fact that they were alive, as well as a time to appreciate the people you love that are still with you. It is a time to acknowledge that they were here, and they were and still are a *person,* who could think and feel and smile and laugh and cry and do all of these amazing things while thinking about how lucky you are that you get the privilege of being able to do the same.

My friend is Spanish and through her I’ve been getting in touch with Mexican culture and it’s beautiful, with a vast and rich history and I enjoy learning about it.

seems like we all here for spanish class.....

POV You are watching while scrolling through comments because you need this for Spanish class. MH Students

Anyone else here for a Spanish project

spanish class anyone?

Todos los gringos aquí por sus tareas y yo queriendo ver que decían de mi México di oro

¿Dónde están las voces mexicanas para contar estas hermosas tradiciones?

I’m here gaining some insight on my heritage and culture.

Thank you so much. I shared this with all my classes.

I’m here for Spanish and because I love Mexican culture

Excelente presentación, felicidades!

I had to pick a Spanish holiday to present in Spanish with a PowerPoint and was immediately drawn to this holiday! Now that I've researched and watched this video, I really, genuinely love this holiday! When I chose it I didn't even realise the presentation would be in the same week it's celebrated! Now I'm excited!!

You should allow auto CC and that way youtube could auto translate.

We made sugar sculls in my Spanish class and a kid got sick because they wanted to eat it 🤦🏽‍♀️

great video, now i have to write a 250 word review on this in spanish.....

SONRIE JESUS TE AMA, Que el que no naciere de nuevo no puede ver el reino de Dios Juan 3-3

Student: please i want to see my family Teacher: *then beg in spanish*

Thank you for this clear info

I love how one of my favorite flowers is the flower of the dead.

It’s not paganism just because it isn’t your culture or religion. We can say the same for Christianity.

Perfect video for my Spanish students as an introduction to this holiday. Thank you.

I think this will great be great for my art class, doing a unit on day of the dead

I remember when i was 11 and they ask us to wrote 3 calaveritas, and I wrote one to the Pricipals telling how La calaca came for him when he was counting the money of a scam he did some months before......remember my teacher laugh, but that didn't save for taking extra homework for a whole week.

I’m here to learn a little bit more of my Mexican heritage and día de Los muertos 💀 true meaning

spanish class pog h e l p m e

i weill always suppport a PBS channel. just wish television wasnt a fading thing in this internet world

Glad they said "American halloween" also known as All hallows eve. An ancient pagan night, existed for centuries before "America" even existed.

Suerte en sus clases de español. También suerte para aprenderse los tiempos.

Anyone have 10 facts they learned from this video for spanish homework?

Let's turn to God Shepherd's Chapel explains the whole Bible God bless

Prazer! Sou Angelo Asson, escritor brasileiro. Procuro alguém que conheça bem o "Día de los Muertos" para fazer uma live.

Also the spanish did not 'conquer' Mexico.…Let’s call it what it is. It was an invasion. It was a war. It was colonization. That word conquest implies an extermination of a culture over another and that's not what happened.

Everyone out here coming from Spanish class lol. I'm here for that guacamelee lore

En España era igual, buen documental :)

¡Placer! Soy Angelo Asson, escritor brasileño. Busco a alguien que conozca bien el "Día de los Muertos" para hacer un live.

Their original celebration was in July? I have read everywhere else that their original celebrations were in August.

Hi 👋 day of the dead 💀 (día de los muertos)🙂🇲🇽💀… Eat sugar skulls 💀💀💀…yum🧊

Sounds like druids.

Neuters, epicines, homogeneous, heterogeneous, ambidextrous, LGTB all are remembered and loved with all our hearts. None is gone, they all live in our hearts. OMNIBUS PAX AETERNAM !

Anyone here not fluent in spanish even though they've been in the di program for over 5 years... No just me, ok

Día de los muertos no existe , nosotros los Mexicanos festejamos el " Día de muertos "

This is an assignment for my class. Dia de Los Muertos means Day of the dead

FHS spanish anyone?

It's told to us in the beginning that it's not the Mexican version of Halloween but then explain that when the Spanish came, they merged the Aztec culture with the Catholic days of All Saints and All Souls, Halloween is literally ALL HALLOWS EVE or the Eve of All SAINTS

Santa muerte 💀👑🌹💐🍎🍏🚬💵🍬🍫☕🍺🔔⏳🔮🌎💙💜💚💛❤👍

There never was no goddesses. Those were only people there’s only one God that made all humanity and the universe. Those were not goddesses. They were just people worship the dead.

We're tired of culture appropriation, they want to eat tacos alone.

The origins of this Christian holiday is the 4th century, during the persecution of Christians by the Emperor Diocletian since, by causing many deaths, it was impossible to celebrate a commemoration in the name of each one of them, so it was decided to establish one day, to honor the Catholic martyrs.

Pov: Mrs Backers is making you watch this for Spanish

Now this is the Spanish class vid. Like if u came to this vid bc of Spanish class

The fact that there is a white woman telling the “story” makes me so mad! It’s just plain wrong! It’s not racism is tradition!

Los muertos nada saben Eclesiastes 9 : 5 .-

You are way off ask my family in Zacatecas... Hell even my sister en la Capital ( Mexico D.F )

im too lazy to watch this whole video help me

As always white people love to speak for us.

No one celebrated Dia de Los Muertos until like 2008. It’s just All Souls’ Day with a different name for political reasons. The Aztec stuff is a bunch of completely made up fluff.

Why do you have someone who can’t speak Spanish explain Mexican culture?

why is a white person speaking about my indigenous culture. wouldn't it have been better to hear from someone who grew up with that tradition.

did anyone come up with 20 facts while watching this???

You have been taught that there is no salvation outside the Roman Catholic Church, but the reality is that salvation does not come by a church, but only comes by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, apart from any of our own works. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” - Ephesians 2:8-9 You have been taught that church tradition and words of clergy matter just as much, if not more, than what the Bible teaches, but the reality is the Bible is sufficient for all doctrine and instruction. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” - 2 Timothy 3:16-17 You have been taught that Mary and the saints can mediate on your behalf before God the Father, but the reality is that Jesus Christ, God the Son, is your only mediator before God the Father. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” - 1 Timothy 2:5 You have been tricked into placing your hope of eternal salvation into a piece of bread and cup of wine that the priest claims transforms into Christ’s flesh, but the reality is Christ shed his blood only once to pay the forgiveness for all your sins forever. “And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man (Jesus Christ), after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God” - Hebrews 10:11-12 You have been taught that after death most people go to purgatory for a final cleansing before they’re worthy of Heaven, but the reality is that the blood of Jesus washes away all sin and purgatory does not exist - if you place your trust in this you will go to Heaven by Jesus’ righteousness, but if you place your trust in the church, water baptism, idols, or anything else, you will go to Hell. “And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses” - Colossians 2:13 “Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” - Romans 3:24-26 I pray you consider what God’s word says. God alone justifies a repentant sinner when the sinner places their trust in Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ alone. Do not let some church or false teacher lead you to Hell. “But as many as received him (Jesus Christ), to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” - John 1:12-13
