Čisto vse, a zares čisto vse, kar se slabega dogaja v Sloveniji, je posledica enega samega samcatega (ne)dejanja: opustitve lustracije kot (najmanj) formalne obsodbe morilskega režima in tako narodove katarze. Slovenska država je zato mrtvorojena.

All Saints Day History

The Day of the Dead, or Día de Muertos, honors deceased loved ones while fostering a sense of community and cultural connection. This multi-day observance is characterized by intricate altars, vibrant decorations, and symbolic offerings presented to the spirits of the departed. Its central aim is to bring families together to remember and assist the souls of the deceased on their spiritual journey through the afterlife. Key aspects of the day include the creation of ofrendas (altar displays), indulging in special treats like sugar skulls, and visiting cemeteries to clean and decorate the burial sites with flowers and candles.

The history of Day of the Dead traces back to pre-Columbian indigenous cultures of Mexico who practiced similar rituals for centuries. The arrival of Spanish colonizers in the 16th century led to a blending of indigenous and Catholic traditions, resulting in the modern Day of the Dead celebration that intertwines pre-Hispanic rituals with the Catholic All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day.

The Day of the Dead is observed with a combination of Mexican and local customs. Various events, festivals, and workshops are hosted throughout different countries, providing opportunities to celebrate and learn about this meaningful tradition. Art exhibitions, film screenings, and culinary experiences showcase the rich heritage and vibrant artistry of the Mexican observance. Though the customs may vary in each European country, the importance of remembering and honoring loved ones transcends cultural boundaries. Day of the Dead typically occurs every year on November 1 and 2, coinciding with the Catholic All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day.
