-For many, death is the final taboo. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
-But here in Mexico, -death is a very familiar spectre. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
-Every year, hundreds -of lively parties are held... | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
-..where people dance alongside -skeletons and scary skulls. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
-But the focus of the festival... | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
-..is to welcome back -loved ones who have died. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
-Each year, on All Saints' Day -and All Souls' Day... | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
-..the deceased join the living... | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
-..and are indulged -with personal gifts. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
-The people of Mexico -believe the souls of the dead... | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
-..return for a short time. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
-It's a belief that dates back -to an age-old Mexican custom. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
-Over the coming days, -I'll witness the relationship... | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
-..between the living and the dead. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
-Oaxaca -is a city in southeast Mexico... | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
-..roughly the same size as Swansea. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
-At the end of October, -it hosts lively celebrations... | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
-..to celebrate the Day of the Dead. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
-Visitors -from four corners of the world... | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
-..come to watch the fun. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
-The spectacle is rooted in a local -tradition spanning five centuries... | 0:02:21 | 0:02:26 | |
-..when the death rituals -of Mexican Indians... | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
-..were fused with -the Christian All Saints' festival. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
-The three-day festival, -from 31 October... | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
-..to 2 November, -is Mexico's most renowned festival. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:48 | |
-Oaxaca's -civic authorities work hard... | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
-..to promote the festival. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
-A lengthy programme of events -has been organised. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
-Concerts, along with -altar-making and art competitions... | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
-..take over the cemeteries -and public squares. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
-During preparations... | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
-..people buy decorations -to adorn their homes. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
-Skulls and skeletons, -which can look rather scary... | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
-..and comical, as well as -the occasional Halloween trinket. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
-American influences -are never far away. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
-Wherever you look, there's death. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
-Not in -a threatening or macabre way... | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
-..but in a lively and colourful way. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
-It's as if people play with death -like a child plays with a toy. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
-There are sugar skulls... | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
-..reminding us -that life and death is sweet. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
-Fancy-dress skeletons... | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
-..reminding us that death touches -us all, even the most affluent. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
-I have to admit, -it feels very foreign to me. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
-It's something I'm not completely -comfortable with at the moment. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
-In the Mercado de Abastos... | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
-..Mexico's -largest open-air market... | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
-..it's nice to -see more familiar produce on offer. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
-These colourful flowers... | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
-..are said to help spirits -find their way home. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
-I love fresh flowers at home... | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
-..but I've never bought flowers -to attract a spirit before. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
-They smell lovely but there's -a first time for everything. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:55 | |
-Tonnes of traditional foods -are also on sale. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
-These chocolate beans -are used with chillies... | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
-..to create a distinctive sauce -called mole negro. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
-This region's mole negro -is the best in Mexico, so they say. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
-One of the festival's unique -sights are the sand tapestries. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:21 | |
-Here, schools and colleges -create tapestries... | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
-..in one of -the city's public squares. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
-These giant skulls -and other depictions of death... | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
-..are typical of the images -synonymous with the festival. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
-Wandering the streets, -it's easy to lose oneself... | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
-..in the colourful preparations. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
-A unique combination -of religion and history... | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
-..is firmly rooted in the festival. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
-Father Maldonado -is a Christian priest... | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
-..of Mexican Native Indian descent. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
-He's proud of the way -indigenous customs are celebrated... | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
-..to make the Day of the Dead -a unique festival. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:08 | |
-There's a strong link between -the countries that conquered us... | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
-..specifically Spain here in Mexico. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
-The Spanish missionaries didn't -try to destroy ancient customs. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:26 | |
-They took the best they had -to offer, the positive things. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:33 | |
-And without destroying the cult -and worship they had for the dead... | 0:06:33 | 0:06:39 | |
-..they emphasised the fact that -this was linked to a higher being. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:46 | |
-Father Maldonado values highly -the ancient symbolism... | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
-..preserved in the celebrations -and relates the sand tapestries... | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
-..to the lives -of the indigenous people. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
-For example, -why do they create with sand? | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
-It's the material they have to hand -and they give it form and life. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
-They decorate it with seasonal -flowers such as marigolds. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:13 | |
-Their golden colour -is the colour of life. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
-The marigolds are the shape -of the sun and are vibrant. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
-According to the Pre-Hispanic -belief, the sun enlightens people. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:28 | |
-The same is true today, but -the light up above is God Almighty. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:35 | |
-About 40 kilometres from the city -is the site of Mitla... | 0:07:39 | 0:07:43 | |
-..the ancient temple -of the Zapotec people... | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
-..who lived in this part of Mexico -in pre-Christian times. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
-They worshipped -the God of Death and the Underworld. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
-Apolinar Geminiano has studied -the history of the site. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
-They have discovered... | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
-..that this was the burial place.... | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
-..of the Zapotecs' -high priests and kings. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
-They were buried in tombs -in the shape of a cross. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:16 | |
-They were buried with various -items because they believed... | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
-..they were on a journey -to another life. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
-They were buried with gold, -silver, pearls and coral... | 0:08:24 | 0:08:29 | |
-..water and textiles which -prepared them for the other world. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:35 | |
-In underground chambers... | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
-..the skulls and bodies -of prominent figures were buried. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
-Mitla means the Place of the Dead. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
-I'm literally -in amongst them all down here. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
-Reigning over them all... | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
-..was Mictlantecuhtli, the -god of death, who people worshipped. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:03 | |
-Symbols and carvings of skulls -signified his presence. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
-To placate this ferocious god... | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
-..human sacrifices were offered. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
-Above is a paved square... | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
-..showing where the -ceremonial killings took place. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-The decorative architecture -denotes the site's importance. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:27 | |
-This is the largest religious site -in southern Mexico... | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
-..before the Spanish arrived. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
-By the 16th century, -everything changed. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
-The Spanish Conquistadores -arrived... | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
-..and one of the first things they -did was introduce their religion. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
-They destroyed -the original temple... | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
-..and erected their own church -in the heart of Mitla. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
-It was a concerted effort to replace -the natives' indigenous way of life. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
-But the natives' way of life -wasn't the only thing to change... | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
-..during this turbulent time. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
-When the Spanish arrived in 1517... | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
-..25 million of the indigenous -people lived in Mexico. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
-A century later, -the sword and European diseases... | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
-..almost wiped out -the entire population. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
-Fewer than a million survived. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
-This chilling fact partly explains -why Mexico's inhabitants... | 0:10:27 | 0:10:31 | |
-..choose to mark death -in their own inimitable way. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
-One of the festival's customs is -the offering of bread to the dead. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:45 | |
-The Aztecs and Zapotecs mixed blood -with flour to make sweet bread. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
-Pan de muerto por favor. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
-In the same vein, Mexicans nowadays -prepare sweet bread for the dead... | 0:10:55 | 0:11:00 | |
-..but without the blood! | 0:11:00 | 0:11:01 | |
-The arrival -of Christianity changed things. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
-As well as laying bread -on the graves of relations... | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
-..people buy pan de muerto -to eat and enjoy. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
-It's just like brioche. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
-Muchas gracias. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
-As well as the pan de muerto, -the mole negro... | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
-..is another integral food. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
-This thick -chilli and chocolate sauce... | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
-..is a symbol of past bloodshed. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
-As Apolinar Geminiano explained... | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
-..only one of the ingredients binds -contemporary life in Oaxaca... | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
-..with the customs -of the original Mexican people. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
-Regarding the pre-Hispanic era, -we continue offerings of mole... | 0:11:47 | 0:11:52 | |
-..flowers and drinks -like mescal and chocolate. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:59 | |
-Pre-Hispanic offerings -are still used on altars. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
-We're uniting the rituals of the -ancient natives with those of Spain. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:10 | |
-Across the city -and the entire state... | 0:12:10 | 0:12:14 | |
-..these unique offerings are being -prepared for a giant celebration. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:20 | |
-Around a million -of Oaxaca's residents... | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
-..will take part in the festivities. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
-With so many households -preparing mole... | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
-..there's a strong aroma -of chocolate in the air! | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |

-For three days each year... | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
-..on the eve of -All Saints' and All Souls' Day... | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
-..the people of Mexico -remember loved ones who have died. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
-Many believe their souls -escape the clutches of death... | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
-..to return to life for the Dia -de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:07 | |
-It's a cause for celebration -throughout the country and beyond. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:14 | |
-October 31st, the eve of All Saints, -commonly known as Halloween. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:23 | |
-People are busy decorating graves -in Oaxaca's largest cemetery. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:27 | |
-Buenos dias. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
-One thing I've noticed is the number -of children at the cemetery. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:38 | |
-They're happy to be here too. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
-It shows you -how open people are about death... | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
-..and regard it as merely -the next step in the life cycle. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
-Here in the Panteon General... | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
-..many civic activities -have begun too. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
-Keeping watch over proceedings -is Miguel Angel. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
-It's his duty to prepare -the ofrendas competition... | 0:13:58 | 0:14:03 | |
-..the decoration of colourful altars -in homes and public places... | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
-..to attract spirits. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
-We have eight contestants. -It'll be very competitive. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
-It gets better every year, -with new elements introduced... | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
-..while also retaining -the old tradition of the altars. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:24 | |
-Miguel also places candles -in the nichos... | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
-..alcoves in the wall -surrounding the cemetery... | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
-..where thousands are buried. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
-At four o'clock -we start lighting the candles. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
-There are 2,440 nichos -and we place a candle in each one. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:46 | |
-People are preparing to welcome -the spirits of their loved ones. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:53 | |
-Washing headstones and decorating -is the practical element. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
-While that's going on, -something deeper happens too. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:02 | |
-In one area... | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
-..a widow has asked a musician -to sing at her husband's grave. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:09 | |
-SINGS IN SPANISH | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
-That was unexpected. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
-I didn't expect him to sing and -comfort the widow with his music. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:25 | |
-Everyone was listening intently. -The cemetery was silent. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:44 | |
-It was a very peaceful moment. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
-Now I've had a taste of preparations -in the city... | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
-..I'm keen to see -their preparations in the country. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
-They say it's more family orientated -and parochial there. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
-All the community -comes together to celebrate. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
-I'm looking forward to it. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
-I'm on my way to Soledad de Etla, -a small town... | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
-..20km from Oaxaca. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
-Residents here are renowned -for their exuberant celebrations. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:32 | |
-The streets might be quiet now... | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
-..but the town -will be packed tomorrow... | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
-..as some of south Mexico's most -colourful celebrations take over. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:43 | |
-Before venturing outside, people -will celebrate first at home... | 0:16:43 | 0:16:49 | |
-..around altars that are purposely -decorated to attract spirits. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:54 | |
-At the home of one of the town's -oldest families is Lorena... | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
-..a local doctor, and her daughter, -who are preparing ofrendas. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
-Mexicans all over the world -dedicate a corner of their home... | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
-..to this colourful ritual. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
-We make an offering to the dead, -things they like most... | 0:17:13 | 0:17:19 | |
-..since this is the only time -they can come to visit us. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:24 | |
-We still remember them, so we offer -mescal, mole and sweet pumpkin. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:33 | |
-Everything they liked -is what means most to us too. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:39 | |
-This year, additional offerings -are made on the ofrenda. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
-Lorena's mother-in-law -died a year and a half ago. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
-Her soul will return to the home -for the first time. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
-The first year they die, -they don't come to visit us. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
-My mother-in-law died in April, -so she didn't visit in November. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:04 | |
-This year, she'll return along with -the others who've been dead longer. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:12 | |
-The festival -brings back happy memories... | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
-..and stirs up emotions. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
-Lorena doesn't claim to be able -to contact the spirits who return. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:27 | |
-I can't feel their presence, no, -only happiness in my heart. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:33 | |
-I've never heard a noise or a door -slamming that tells me they're here. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:40 | |
-I feel them in my heart. It's -more sentimental than physical. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:45 | |
-Miranda noticed -that the glass of mescal... | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
-..the potent local alcohol -isn't quite as full as it was... | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
-..which suggests -the spirits have returned. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
-SHE SPEAKS SPANISH | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
-Since we've been here... | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
-..some of the mescal has gone. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
-Miranda believes -the spirits are here... | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
-..drinking the mescal. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
-It's probably the two grandfathers! | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
-It's strong too. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
-They're enjoying themselves! | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
-Miranda's father Pipino -has farmland near the town. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
-He must get things in order -before the celebrations begin. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
-Although he has to work while -the rest of the family prepares... | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
-..he regards himself lucky to -live in such a beautiful setting... | 0:19:44 | 0:19:49 | |
-..and a close-knit community. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
-We're all friendly -because we know each other. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
-We're always ready -to help anyone in need. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
-We're expected to be friendly. Our -culture has always dictated that. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
-As well as the closeness... | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
-..Pipino's proud -of his community's celebrations. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
-A ritual that has emanated from -this very town, according to him. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
-The tradition originates from -this community in Soledad de Etla. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:21 | |
-Because the response -is so enthusiastic... | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
-..celebrations have grown in this -community and in neighbouring towns. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:31 | |
-Back in Oaxaca, -Miguel and a group of volunteers... | 0:20:35 | 0:20:39 | |
-..are placing the thousands -of candles to light the nichos. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
-The ofrendas competition -is hotting up. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
-The altar is dedicated to peace. -What does reconciliation mean? | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
-That conflict has now been resolved. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
-That everything that was avoided -is now acknowledged. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
-The traditional candles -of Teotitlan del Valle... | 0:20:57 | 0:21:02 | |
-..and skeletons -playing wind instruments... | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
-..represent a typical Oaxacan band. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
-The altars that respect tradition -and show creativity... | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
-..will win over the judges. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:14 | |
-We're proud to be participating -and preserving tradition. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:21 | |
-Because the customs -are slowly disappearing.... | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
-..our parents and ancestors -are urging us to keep them alive. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:29 | |
-Later, a more sombre feel -spreads through the cemetery... | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
-..as people prepare to welcome -the souls of the angelitos... | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
-..the children who have died. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
-The death of a child -is the hardest thing... | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
-..for any parent to bear. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
-Seeing this grave -is heart-breaking... | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
-..with the sweets and toys. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
-But it's also lovely because -this festival is an opportunity... | 0:22:04 | 0:22:09 | |
-..for the family -to be reunited with the child... | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
-..almost 40 years later. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
-Here, -a woman decorates a family grave. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:29 | |
-Buried alongside many relations -is a baby. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:34 | |
-She will decorate the altar -to remember her niece... | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
-..who died from pneumonia -at only 40 days old. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
-We celebrate -and remember the angelitos... | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
-..by bringing -small tokens to the cemetery. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
-A little pan de muerto, flowers and -tiny skulls to remember their souls. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:59 | |
-I've brought her small flowers. -She's buried on this side. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:07 | |
-Her father's in the middle. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:12 | |
-Later, her mother will bring photos, -candles and small breads. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:21 | |
-Decorating graves and placing -ofrendas are two important customs. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:27 | |
-But the tradition which brings -colour, and certainly noise... | 0:23:27 | 0:23:32 | |
-..to the celebrations -is the muerteada processions. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:36 | |
-In Soledad de Etla, -a special muerteada takes place... | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
-..to remember the angelitos. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
-The young celebrate the belief... | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
-..that the souls of children -are visiting the town once again. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:56 | |
-The purpose of the muerteada -is to give those souls a chance... | 0:23:57 | 0:24:01 | |
-..to dance and enjoy -the only opportunity... | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
-..to be back amongst the living. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
-Muerteada literally means -dance of the dead. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
-Pipino and Lorena's eldest daughter -Gabriella is here with her son... | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
-..who has dressed up -like the others. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:22 | |
-But the cartoon character -and witches' outfits... | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
-..are as prominent -as the more traditional ones. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
-As the children -catch the sweets that are thrown... | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
-..Halloween customs -are an growing influence. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
-Halloween -is relatively new to Mexico. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
-It hails from Europe and America, -of course... | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
-..but certain elements... | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
-..have successfully integrated -with the Day of the Dead. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
-We've seen a few witches, -a few film characters and Dracula... | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
-..but Halloween hasn't taken over. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
-It's nightfall -at the Panteon General. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:12 | |
-The thousands of candles along the -wall create a magical atmosphere. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:17 | |
-Around the cemetery... | 0:25:19 | 0:25:21 | |
-..Miguel and his volunteers -create a pathway... | 0:25:21 | 0:25:24 | |
-..to guide people -to a performance of Faure's Requiem. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
-This is the time of day when -the souls of the angelitos return. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
-It's a special moment for Miguel. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
-The Panteon is lit and ready to -receive the souls of the children. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:44 | |
-Our children -who have been lost on the way... | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
-..and we have prepared the way -to guide them back to their homes. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:52 | |
-We put these candles here -to welcome them. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
-CHOIR SINGS IN LATIN | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
-The haunting sounds of -the requiem mass silences everyone. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:26 | |
-More families arrive to spend time -at their children's gravesides. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:32 | |
-This is one of the festival's -most tender moments. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
-There's a magical atmosphere -here tonight. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
-Tomorrow there'll be -a big, noisy party... | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
-..but now -only two things are important. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
-The preparations -before their welcome return... | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
-..and remembering the angelitos. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |

-The first of November. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
-All Saints' Day. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
-Today is a day of feasting, as -important to the people of Mexico... | 0:27:46 | 0:27:52 | |
-..as Christmas Day is to us. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
-It'll be -a day of major celebrations... | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
-..but first the food must be -prepared - chicken in this case. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:04 | |
-Lorena and Gabriella are preparing -enough for 12 relatives... | 0:28:04 | 0:28:08 | |
-..who are joining them. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
-The fire has been lit -in time to make mole negro. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
-The Day of the Dead wouldn't be -complete without this special sauce. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:24 | |
-There's enough for everyone... | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
-..including -the most important guests of all... | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
-..who will be here in spirit! | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
-After getting changed, Lorena -gives the mole one final stir... | 0:28:37 | 0:28:41 | |
-..and reveals -the secret ingredients. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
-I grind different sorts of chilli - -guajillo, mora. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:51 | |
-I flavour it with banana, bread, -almond, cinnamon and pepper. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:58 | |
-We roast the chillies -and add fried bananas and apples... | 0:28:58 | 0:29:05 | |
-..and we grind them into a paste. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:11 | |
-And that's the mole! | 0:29:11 | 0:29:13 | |
-The souls are first to eat. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
-And the contented souls are happy -to share a bottle of mescal... | 0:29:20 | 0:29:24 | |
-..while they're waiting! | 0:29:25 | 0:29:27 | |
-During the festival, -we traditionally serve mole... | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
-..because it's what they liked most. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:33 | |
-That's why -it's placed on the altar. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:35 | |
-This is where the souls come -to take the essence of the food. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:42 | |
-This is the food they eat -on the day of the festival. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:45 | |
-This is food and delicacies -for the souls only. | 0:29:46 | 0:29:49 | |
-The family mustn't eat anything from -the altar for the next two days. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:54 | |
-Once the festival's over, -they can eat whatever they like. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:58 | |
-According to some, the food -loses some of its flavour... | 0:29:59 | 0:30:03 | |
-..since the souls -have taken away the nourishment. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:07 | |
-But the food for the guests... | 0:30:13 | 0:30:15 | |
-..is tasty enough. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:18 | |
-Lorena's brother and sister have -travelled five hours to get here. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:23 | |
-As well as the chicken and mole, -they eat special tortillas... | 0:30:23 | 0:30:27 | |
-..made with black maize flour. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:31 | |
-The colour of death. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:33 | |
-It's not a formal meal and there's -plenty of coming and going. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:39 | |
-But soon the feast will be over. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:41 | |
-A procession is nearing -Lorena and Pipino's home. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:48 | |
-When the muerteada arrives, -the place goes wild. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:52 | |
-It's a carnival for ghouls, -and there's no escaping the noise... | 0:31:13 | 0:31:17 | |
-..or the dancing. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:19 | |
-Lorena, who moved here -to live after getting married... | 0:31:28 | 0:31:32 | |
-..loves Soledad's scary carnival. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:35 | |
-I used to live elsewhere... | 0:31:35 | 0:31:37 | |
-..but when I came here, -I was surprised to see the costumes. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:41 | |
-They're beautiful -and they're handcrafted. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:44 | |
-They're not your average costumes. -They're crafted from foam. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:50 | |
-The music surprised me too. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:54 | |
-They go from house to house -before moving to the church. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:59 | |
-The muerteada -began at the cemetery... | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
-..to give souls time to -possess those in the procession... | 0:32:04 | 0:32:08 | |
-..and join in the fun. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:10 | |
-It's not only people -who are behind these scary masks. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:15 | |
-As well as the singing and dancing, -there are readings too. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:19 | |
-David remained quite sad. -The time came to repent. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:25 | |
-'Am I guilty of being kind to the -attractive one who came to my door?' | 0:32:25 | 0:32:30 | |
-And now he sits pensively. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:33 | |
-As you'd expect, only -tongue-in-cheek poems play a part. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:39 | |
-The poet recites calaveritas... | 0:32:39 | 0:32:43 | |
-..which means little skulls, and he -makes fun of death, and pokes fun... | 0:32:43 | 0:32:47 | |
-..at local dignitaries. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
-Here's the song, -'No Pasa Nada.'(Nothing Happens) | 0:32:49 | 0:32:53 | |
-As the musicians step forward, -Pipino pays the band... | 0:32:56 | 0:33:01 | |
-..and wishes the muerteada well... | 0:33:01 | 0:33:04 | |
-..because -they're only just beginning. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:07 | |
-They'll be performing -for the next 20 hours. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:11 | |
-That's a challenge, even -for an extreme runner like myself! | 0:33:12 | 0:33:15 | |
-This is only one -of about six bands... | 0:33:30 | 0:33:33 | |
-..who march through Soledad. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:35 | |
-As the afternoon wears on... | 0:33:38 | 0:33:40 | |
-..hundreds more -will come to join them. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:43 | |
-By nightfall, there'll be -no room to move on the streets. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:47 | |
-In Oaxaca, the noise -and the dancing begins later. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:04 | |
-The party's in full swing here too. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:07 | |
-The celebrations -are more scattered... | 0:34:07 | 0:34:10 | |
-..and it's the young people -who are the most enthusiastic. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:14 | |
-But there are some who believe -it's better to stay away. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:18 | |
-Evangelical churches are growing in -popularity across Latin America... | 0:34:19 | 0:34:24 | |
-..partly due to American influence. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:27 | |
-They believe these ancient customs -are born out of superstition. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:33 | |
-They're also against -the nature of the celebrating. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:36 | |
-Having been ordained as a priest -into the Catholic Church... | 0:34:37 | 0:34:41 | |
-..Marco Zavaleta turned to -the Evangelical Church. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:45 | |
-He believes -that it's the Bible's teachings... | 0:34:45 | 0:34:49 | |
-..which guide people to God, -not customs and traditions. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:54 | |
-The Evangelical Church -respects these rituals. | 0:34:54 | 0:35:00 | |
-The traditions and the culture -are really beautiful... | 0:35:01 | 0:35:06 | |
-..but they don't lead us to God. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:12 | |
-That's why we, through God's word... | 0:35:13 | 0:35:19 | |
-..and being respectful -of culture and traditions... | 0:35:19 | 0:35:24 | |
-..are trying -to help people realize... | 0:35:24 | 0:35:28 | |
-..it's best -not to join in these festivities. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:33 | |
-For us, church services continue -as normal during this time. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:38 | |
-We emphasize -that with our way of life... | 0:35:38 | 0:35:45 | |
-..it's possible for people to live -happily without these traditions. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:50 | |
-It'd be an almighty task... | 0:35:50 | 0:35:53 | |
-..to persuade the people of Soledad -de Etla to give up their carnival. | 0:35:54 | 0:35:58 | |
-The festivities are an important -part of the town's religion. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:04 | |
-The muerteada processions come to -the Virgin of Solitude Church.... | 0:36:04 | 0:36:09 | |
-..to be blessed. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:11 | |
-The church is open all night -for people who wish to pray... | 0:36:11 | 0:36:16 | |
-..or to remember their loved ones. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:18 | |
-There's a religious depth to -the rituals that happen inside... | 0:36:20 | 0:36:24 | |
-..and outside the church. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:27 | |
-It's this strange contrast -between noise and silence... | 0:36:27 | 0:36:30 | |
-..which makes -Dia de los Muertos so interesting. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:33 | |
-In our society, these two ways -of celebrating are kept apart. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:39 | |
-Look after our fragile lives. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:42 | |
-Before moving on, -one of the muerteada's leaders... | 0:36:43 | 0:36:47 | |
-..asks for the living -and the dead to be blessed. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:50 | |
-We ask for your blessing. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:53 | |
-Although Etla is the home of the -muerteada in this part of Mexico... | 0:36:54 | 0:36:59 | |
-..three's plenty of exuberance -on the streets of Oaxaca too. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:04 | |
-I have to admit, -the atmosphere is electric here. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:11 | |
-Even in Oaxaca, it's a wonderful way -of bringing the community together. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:16 | |
-Thank you! | 0:37:16 | 0:37:18 | |
-After leading a procession -through the city... | 0:37:19 | 0:37:23 | |
-..some of the muerteadas -head to the Panteon General. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:27 | |
-Some families spend time -at their relatives' gravesides. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:35 | |
-Last night it was the angelitos -who were remembered. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:41 | |
-Tonight's focus is on other -loved ones who are buried here. | 0:37:42 | 0:37:46 | |
-This is the family -of a 14-year-old child... | 0:37:46 | 0:37:51 | |
-..who died 15 years ago. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:53 | |
