Brazil's Day of the Dead: The dead return


Dia de Finados (Day of the Dead)

It is a culturally rich and profound celebration, usually held on November 2 every year. The purpose of this day is to remember the deceased loved ones and to pay respect and remembrance to them. The Day of the Dead combines Christian, African and Indian cultural elements and has become an important ritual for the Brazilian people.

The Day of the Dead originated from the Christian "All Saints' Day" and combines traditional religious beliefs with unique Brazilian cultural elements. On this day, families visit cemeteries to clean and decorate the tombstones of the deceased. They bring flowers, candlelight and other gifts to show respect and memory for the loved ones they have lost.


This celebration is not only a private tribute for the family, but also a collective participation of the entire community. Near the cemetery, there are snack stalls and art exhibitions where people can taste local specialties and enjoy cultural performances in the form of music, dance and theatre performances. This makes Day of the Dead a vibrant celebration that demonstrates the Brazilian people's deep understanding of life and death, memory and tradition.

The Day of the Dead is also marked by Mass, prayers and commemorations. The church holds a special mass to ask God to bless the souls of the deceased. In addition, some families put out photos, objects and food to welcome the spirit of the deceased back home and share the special moment with the living family.

The Day of the Dead is an important part of Brazilian culture about life, death and inheritance. It is not only a tribute and memorial to the dead, but also a celebration and respect for life. Through this day, people can better understand and accept the impermanence of life, while also deepening the bonds and emotional bonds between families and communities.

The Day of the Dead in Brazil is a unique and beautiful cultural tradition, which shows the memory of the dead and the value of life. This celebration not only allows people to remember their deceased loved ones, but also allows people to reflect on the meaning of their own lives and strong connections to their loved ones, communities and cultures.

In terms of price, the first and two designer Barbie in 2019 have a relatively high premium, and the price in recent years has fallen below the starting price. In the final analysis, the premium is proportional to the degree of workmanship and the beauty of the baby, in recent years, the work gradually began to cut corners (such as embroidery printing), the price will certainly fall.
