WE CELEBRATE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER THE DAY OF THE DEATH, "EL DIA DE LOS MUERTOS". THIS A DAY THAT ALL FAMILY MEMBERS, LOVE ONES MAKE SOME OF THEIR DIHES(FOOD) AND GO WALKING IN THE STREETS SINGING SONGS SOME DRESS LIKE SKELETONS TO GO GREED THE DEATH. THESE IS THE TRADITION OF US CHICANOS IN MEXICO. BUT NOT ONLY DO WE CELEBRATE EL DIA DE LOS MUERTOS BUT ALSO WE REALLY GET INTO THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT WHICH IS THE MONTH JESUS WAS BORN. FOR A WHOLE WEEK, WE PRAY WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS AND HAVE A MEAL EACH DAY IN A DIFFERENT HOUSE. WE CALL THIS TRADITION LAS POSADAS.
ANOTHER TRADITION IS SEMANA DE CENIZA IN WHICH CATHOLICS CANNOT EAT MEAT ON FRIDAYS STARTING FROM LATE MARCH TO EASTER DAY THE DAY JESUS RESURRECTED AND WENT INTO THE HEAVENS. ON THE LAST WEEK WE GO TO CHURCH AND THEY PUT A BLACKISH CROSS IN OUR FOREHEAD WHICH IS REFER TO AS HOLY WEEK. THE BLACKISH STUFF THEY PUT IS JUST A MIXTURE OF HOLY WATER AND PALM LEVES BURN TO ASHES.
