Guelaguetza Festival In Mexico City

Guelaguetza Festival In Mexico City

Women and men of the folkloric ballet of Cananea and other folkloric dance groups from the Iztapalapa district in Mexico City are gathering before a dance on the eve of the Guelaguetza Festival of the State of Oaxaca, which represents the highest festival of the state, while the sale of handicrafts from the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, takes place. The Guelaguetza has its origins in pre-Hispanic times, and it is worth mentioning that this festivity began with a ritual that was done to the ancient gods in a place called by the Zapotecs as Daninayaaloani or hill of beautiful view.

                Small Producers In Xochimilco Prepare For The Day Of The Dead In Mexico

                View of caramelized citrus fruits in Mexico City, Mexico, on the eve of the Day of the Dead, to make Pan de Muerto. According to historical documents and accounts, in ancient Mexico, before the indigenous resistance to the arrival of Europeans, a kind of bread similar to a tortilla is prepared, made from amaranth, dried and toasted corn, and maguey honey. It is called papalotlaxcalli, which means Butterfly Bread, and has a butterfly stamped on the dough. According to the Duran Codex or History of the Indies of New Spain and the Tierra Firme Islands, it is an offering food for the goddess Cihuapipiltin, who watches over women who die in childbirth; although later it appears in the accounts of the Codex as part of a food offering that is placed on the tzompantli, an altar of skulls in honor of people sacrificed in rituals for the gods.

                    View of chocolate skulls for sale in Mexico City, Mexico, on the eve of Day of the Dead. Sugar skulls are made from alfenique, which later changes to chocolate, using a jam originating in Spain, with a manipulation technique likely adopted from the Arab tradition. Alfenique is created from a mixture of cane sugar with egg whites, water, and lemon juice. Traditionally, a skull is decorated with various vegetable dyes mixed with powdered sugar, accompanied by colored labels on top where it may or may not have the name of the person to whom it is addressed if it is a gift, the name of the person who wants to eat it, or the name of the deceased that cannot be missing from the altars for the Day of the Dead in Mexico.
