The old Mexicans perceived life and death in a less antagonistic manner than we do. Life continued in death, on the other hand death was not the natural end of life but only one stage of a never-ending story. Life, death and rebirth were only different stages of the universal process which always repeated.
The celebrations of the Day of the Dead in Mexico are underlined by the conviction and belief that the quality of this life is to a great extent affected by our behaviour to the dead.
