This week marked the Day of the Dead celebrations in Latin - TopicsExpress



          

This week marked the Day of the Dead celebrations in Latin America. The local graveyard here in Nicaragua was beautiful! People spent all week painting the grave stones of their family members in brilliant colours, bringing flowers, hanging out all day in the cemetery with celebrations and music (local karaoke singers?)...why is death in North America such a sad and stale, unspoken subject? Even our cemeteries look like bland, and grey endless rows of sad suburban cutout houses. Our western culture needs to accept the inevitability of death and celebrate life! Pura vida!
