THESE SUGAR SKULL DESIGNS ARE ONES PEOPLE USE IN DA DE MUERTES OR DAY OF THE DEAD.
These intricately decorated creations are a well-known part of celebrations of Da de Muertos, or Day of the Dead.
These skulls represent death, explains Juan Aguirre, director of Mano a Mano, a New York-based non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating Mexican culture and promoting understanding of Mexican traditions.
Death doesn't have to be bitter, it can be sweet. Da de Muertos (the los is an Americanization and isn't needed, Aguirre notes) is all about celebration, not sorrow.
On Da de Muertos, people leave sugar skulls, sometimes decorated with the names of loved ones who have died, on an altar as an ofrenda (offering). Its really an offering to the soul theyre remembering, Aguirre explains.
People will also give sugar skulls to loved ones who are still living. It might seem a little strange. Why would you give someone a sugar skull with their name on it, if usually, you put it on the altar to remember the dead? Aguirre asks. But its a way of showing appreciation for someone.
Da de Muertos coincides with Catholic holidays of All Saints Days and All Souls Day on November 1 and 2, but that wasn't always the case. The tradition pre-dates Spanish invasion of Mexico, with its roots in indigenous Aztec Ritual.
Prior to Spanish invasion, People in Mexico used to make altars for the dead, and they used to put real skulls on them, Aguirre explains.
But the Spaniards, when they saw those celebrations, didnt like them. They thought it was gruesome to put bones on altars. The Spanish replaced the real skulls with skulls made from sugar paste, a technique that originated in the Middle East before coming to Spain, and then Mexico. Skulls and other sugar figures made with this technique are called alfeiques. Sometimes, clay is used instead.
Spanish invaders also changed celebrations from a month long summer festival to a shorter festival that synchronized with Catholic holidays.
Today, centuries of tradition go into these decorations which means the plastic versions you may see in stores (and as part of some Halloween costumes) may not be correct.
Sugar skulls have a very specific tradition, and what we find here in the U.S. is that sometimes they add symbols that are not part of Day of the Dead, Aguirre says.
Sometimes Halloween symbols creep in. For their Da de Muertos celebration in New York, Mano a Mano buys sugar skulls from artisans who grew up with these traditions.

Read below 🏨 😔🐦😔🏨 IF? YOU WANT TO LEARN OF THE REAL DANGERS OF MESH NEVER PUBLISHED OR PG 1NEWS.
🏨 😔🐦😔🏨 FACTS I KNOW PERSONALLY OR LEARNED IN U.S.DIST CT. W/100,000+MORE VICTIMS OR HEIRS OF THOSE WHO DIED FROM MESH!
*I try to treat others as I want to be treated. I've been perm. severely nerve damaged & disabled since 2001. When a 2nd Dr. Put a Mesh Bladder Sling in me w/o my knowledge. After my 1st Dr. Did a Surgery I KNEW of.
I Woke in Recovery with Non Stop Pelvic Spasms like Early- Late Labor&Leaked. Esp. IF I SIT. NONE I DID DAY BEFORE!
I Complained Day 1. I'd had Major Surgeries before but None
that made me feel 1000%Worse
!
I was 41&Taught 18yrs before that 1Day Ended My Career& So Much More.
Despite 20+ Surgeries&Treatments last 22yrs? Most? By NUT🧐Dr.s who only made things worse. It's been a 22yr old nightmare I never woke up from.
(Or my husband whose stuck by my side & is also disabled.) So? I'm home- bound 90% time exc. To go to Dr.s Appts. If you Can NOT SIT? It makes it impossible to do SO much! Everyone takes for granted. To just ride in a car a few minutes? Makes my pain & spasms worse for days.
I finally found my 1st Good Dr. At UCLA 2011. He took out most Mesh Slings worldwide. It took him 3+hrs to get all my Mesh&Hardware out he could see.
Much wrapped around nerves & muscles. Some even got to my right knee. I used a Cane before the surgery in 2012. I didn't have to day after!
But I had a knee surgery some yrs later when it got worse again. Mesh is made of the same CRAP
fishing line & milk jugs are. It can & will break up? Puncture Vital Organs? Cause Sepsis? Day1? Yrs Later? Even Kills.
I had a a Massive Infection.He Literally Saved My Life. But after 3surgeries by him 2012-13? I still had same symptoms. Till 2021 in July? We found a Dr. Specializes in Pudendal Neuralgia. FEW DO IN U.S. (What I have caused instantly by Mesh.) We went to Arizona after we finally got an appt.
He had ability to do Pudendal Nerve MRIS there in Phoenix. So he did a 4+hr Lathroscopic Surgery where he found more 23yr old Mesh Crap behind my Pubic Bone! He got all out possible exc.? A Metal Barbed Anchor from the Mesh Sling Screwed into my Pelvic Bone.
To try to remove it? Would shatter
my pubic bone. So its left close to my Pudendal Nerve. But he also put Botox Shots into my Pudendal Nerve After. That Helped My Pain& Spasms to that extent? 1st time EVER in 21yrs!
But they only last 4-6mo. So I had them again in March 2021. My only hope? Is that some way they relax the nerve. But the Dr. Said Any Nerve That's Spasmed 21yrs? Will take a while to Calm Down. So I tried to set up an appt. For a 3rd Shot he recommended.
But I was told he moved and they had no idea where! But now? We're in so much medical debt from last surgery Medicare Didnt pay on. Because it was considered "experimental"
That there is no way we can afford another one or the big expenses to travel out of state. +Our old RV? Finally went OUT & IS beyond Repair.
How I traveled many times because it allowed me to lay down in a Reg. Bed vs. A back Seat or Back of Van. I only share these facts to warn ALL I can about Mesh. Still legal U.S. tho 1/3 patients who get it? Are disabled or worse! Now men are in Ct. For damages or heirs for deaths because of Mesh used in Hernia & Abdominal Surgeries.
All? 100%Unnecessary & preventable. Worst part was?
I was called an "emotional" female by 1 or more Dr.s. 1 even told me? That ALL my Mesh Just Disappeared! That Lawyers were making it up to scare people!
But now there's 3vials Mesh Mess at UCLA & More at Phoenix. So I tell Women E sp
. To listen to their inner voice when it comes to Dr.s!
Who have no
idea of what is involved with womens bodies & the possible non stop pain Pudendal Neuralgia Brings esp. IF I SIT! So? Even a few minute Drive? Does me in For Days.
So I'm homebound 95% of the time exc. Mo. Dr. Visits.
It's feels often like taking your car to a mechanic who has Never Drove! So never
hesitate to get a 2nd or more opinion! +Remember Mesh is a 4-letter word! & Banned in some countries. Why not U.S.? BECAUSE Dr.s still get big$ from Mesh Co.s to grab a"kit"before surgeries. Ugh! But? Just this Last Year?
Our New Primary Dr. Found a Specialist in Tulsa
! Who does Nerve Blocks & Nerve Burnings. So I had my 1st Nerve Block in July. Then my 1st Nerve Burning or Ablation. In Aug.+I just had another nerve block 2weeks ago & my next is Dec.14! I will get another Pud.Nerve Burning in Feb. Because Medicare will pay for Pud. Nerve Blocks every 2mo. But nerve burning? They pay every 6mo. I had 1-2weeks improvement each time. I WAS grateful for! I do KNOW any nerve that has spasmed like early-late labor pains over 22yrs? Will take a while to undo its long history of non stop spasms. IF POSSIBLE? But to find a Specialist In Tulsa? Is a Real Blessing!
Thanks Again for Your Purchase(s)&Patience+🙏s!! Blessings!
