BEIJING CELEBRATES THE LIFE OF ARTIST FRIDA KAHLO.......

MEXICAN EMBASSY IN BEIJING CELEBRATES 'DAY OF THE DEAD'..........

Mexican Embassy in Beijing celebrates the Day of the Dead in memory of great Mexican painter Frida Kahlo.

The Mexican Embassy in Beijing celebrated the Day of the Dead on November 2.
The Day of the Dead, one of the most widely known Mexican festivals, appeals to many foreigners. The holiday is celebrated throughout Mexico and in Mexican communities around the world on November 1-2.

The festival reflects the Mexican philosophy regarding death. Like people everywhere, Mexicans fear death, but they also mock it, tease it, dance with it and create art around it.
The origins of the Day of the Dead stretch into the distant past of both Europe and Mexico. More than 500 years ago, when Spanish colonists landed in what is now Mexico, they encountered natives engaged in a ritual that seemed to mock death. Indigenous people had been practicing the ritual for at least 3,000 years, and it has remained relevant in modern times.
