Death for Mexicans is a reminder of two things: The relationship between the world of the living and the place where those who have left our plane of existence go. Mexicans joke with and about Death, represents it in art and idealizes it. Death is included in the celebration that remembers the parted saints. In Mexico It is said that death neither inspires fear nor terror but the complete opposite, it makes our people laugh and distracts us from the severity of daily routine.
