@0v7: you're fine ^^ I honestly didn't know much about it until coco. Like I knew it's day of the dead and a celebration of ancestors but I didn't know many of the actual traditions.

@Shadami: I'm glad Coco spread some awareness of it! Before it came out, we had The Book of Life and that was it pretty much. Before that... I dunno, I can't think of popular movies that touch that subject :(

I loved both of those movies, and they definitely taught me something. My fiance is Mexican, but I don't think his family really observes the holiday.
I remember learning about Día de Muertos during Spanish class at school. It's not really that similar to Halloween from that I know. It's more about celebrating ancestors and such. The main common factor would be skulls I guess? I should brush up my knowledge on it sometime
Learning about holidays celebrated in other countries is interesting. I've learned about a few Korean holidays while learning Korean and watching Korean shows

It's nothing like Halloween, it's just seen as Mexican Halloween because it's right after Halloween and has skulls...? I think? I dunno, I don't see the resemblance.

I love learning about different holidays and ceremonies. I haven't taken part in many though.
Goodbye, Voltra.

Yeah, I often see Chuseok translated as "Korean Thanksgiving", but I feel like just calling it Chuseok would be better.
Chuseok is a harvest festival, and it also involves paying respects to ancestors and such. Thanksgiving is also a harvest festival I guess, but we don't particularly pay respects to ancestors on that day.
"You've had too much of the digital love -
I wonder how similar it is to Dia de Muertos.

I'm not sure. For Chuseok food, I only really know about the songpyeon, which are colorful rice cakes. And I believe they set up food that's meant as an offering for their ancestors as well
From Wikipedia:
"In contemporary South Korea, on Chuseok, masses of people travel from large cities to their hometowns to pay respect to the spirits of their ancestors.[7] Chuseok celebrates the bountiful harvest and strives for the next year to be better than the last. People perform ancestral worship rituals early in the morning. Then, they visit the tombs of their immediate ancestors to trim plants and clean the area around the tomb and offer food, drink, and crops to their ancestors."

That's...REALLY similar to Dia de Muertos. I offer pan de muertos and food my lost ones liked every year, as well as drinks they liked...

What do you have available?

You know, I feel like we don't really have a holiday like that in the US. My family would do those things on Memorial Day, but technically I think that day's supposed to be for relatives who were in the military. We always just used that day to place flowers on all of our close relatives' graves then though

That's a limited selection D:

I quit Voltra. Read my profile.
For us, most of our relatives are buried 3 hours away from where we live, so maybe it was just easier to do it all at once
I lost internet for a bit xD
Currently recovering from large amounts of PTSD. I'll post when I can, please ping for replies. Things are very difficult for me right now.
