Día de los Muertos is a celebration for all who have passed and are still held in memory.
November 2nd is día de los Muertos in Mexican culture, but we're pretty sure you can celebrate the life of those who have passed any day you wish!
Me consta que en Mexico desarollaron una cultura muy diferente respecto al dia de los muertos, un tema fascinante.
"feliz" dia de los muertos suena para toda persona que no sea mexicana como un imposible, o una tomada de pelo, o un intento de decir "festeja que un monton de personas que no te gustaban ya no te molesten mas".
Al menos sabemos ahora de donde (culturalmente) nos llego el trompetazo inicial.
Sea como sea, le naturaleza de este perfil obligo a aprovechar el doble sentido o possible mala interpretation de "those passed today".
Quizas:
"If today you're honouring those passed away, .." hubiera sido la forma inglesa NATO, mientras que "those passed today" era la version OTAN.
🤔
We spent time researching the best way to convey meaning on this cultural holiday and came to the understadning that is a celebration of rememberance, life, and those passed. Apologies if we got it wrong.
Like you said, it could be that meaning reads diiferently in different languages and cultures!
Either way, thank you for taking the time to discuss this with us.
