That\u2019s the theme of Dia de los Muertos celebrations which the Office of Global Education Office brought to campus on Nov. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"aa3f\">There is a common misconception that Dia de los Muertos is the Mexican equivalent to Halloween. However, this celebration is entirely separate from Halloween.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"139e\">\u201cDia de los Muertos is a celebration in Mexico where you are welcoming the dead people on the first and second of November,\u201d explained doctorate student Liora Schneider explained, who led the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"0ad1\">Schneider previously lived in Mexico and was able to present personal experiences as well as factual information about the holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"aaa6\">\u201cInstead of being a scary thing, it\u2019s like a celebration because they are allowed to come back and celebrate with the people who are still alive,\u201d Schneider said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"8c63\">Dia de los Muertos originated when Spaniards conquered the Aztecs in Mexico. After attempting and failing to impose their beliefs on the Aztecs, a compromise was reached. The Spanish conquerors allowed celebrations for All Saints\u2019 Day and All Souls\u2019 Day on Nov. 1 and 2 respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"2b66\">These days are often celebrated extravagantly. Altars are decorated with flowers, candles, and pictures of loved ones. There are normally colorful costumes, sugar skulls, and Pan de Muertos or \u201cbread of the dead. Food and drinks are placed on the altar as well to welcome the dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"21c4\">Normally, in the United States, death is seen as a somber occurrence. When a death occurs, people gather at funerals to mourn the deceased. However, this Mexican celebration looks at death in a completely different way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ed34\">\u201cWe are celebrating another stage of life, just like celebrating birthdays and marriages,\u201d Schneider said. \u201cNow, we are celebrating death\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"1299\">Rather than mourning the deceased, this celebration is used to remember dead loved ones and celebrate the life that they had. It is seen as a metaphorical reunion between dead and alive loved ones. This celebration is so significant because it celebrates death not as a somber ending, but as another significant part of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ac73\">\u201cSometimes here in the United States, they don\u2019t understand that it\u2019s different from Halloween,\u201d Schneider said. \u201cSometimes they think it\u2019s only a Mexican Halloween with different costumes, but it\u2019s not that. It\u2019s a spiritual and religious celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ba52\">Schneider created the event because she wanted Americans to be aware of the meaning of Dia de los Muertos, and she also wanted students to see that death does not need to be something depressing. Instead, it can be celebrated as another part of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"2dfe\">\u201cI spoke with the office of global education, and we thought this could approach death from a different point of view instead of being something scary,\u201d Schneider said. \u201cIt\u2019s a holy thing when we can honor the deaths.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"b80d\">This is the second year that Schneider has led this session for Dia de los Muertos, and she plans to continue leading it annually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Miranda Ali \u201918 Don\u2019t fear death; celebrate it.
