Day of the Dead is an unusual Mexican celebration in which people honor their deceased loved ones with food, flowers, and Calaveras. The Calavera is an iconic and symbolic skull with intricate and frequently bright embellishments. It is typically created from clay-molded sugar, hence the name "Sugar Skull," and embellished with feathers, beads, foils, and icing. These sugar skulls are bright, gorgeous, and whimsical, not scary at all!
People place and decorate altars or tombs with these eye-catching skulls not only to honor their deceased loved ones, but also to provide as a sugary treat for spirits who return home to visit their families!
These skulls represent death, yet in a favorable manner. Death is thought to be a step forward into a greater level of consciousness and existence, rather than the end of one's life.
For the Aztecs, skulls were a positive emblem of both death and rebirth.Skulls are a popular topic in ancient artwork. It was interpreted as a symbol of strength, life and death, and renewal. Skulls used as symbols for a number of deities.
