A sacrilegious pagan ritual that made a mockery of death while uplifting skulls and foods to the dead was the first account from outsiders of the celebration that came to be known as Dia De Los Muertos. The Spaniards documented those accounts when they first came to the new land. But what they had just witnessed was an ancient Aztec celebration dedicated to the goddess Mictecacihuatl ("The Lady of the Dead"). What the Aztecs were doing was not mocking death, but embracing what we will all find after death. For the Aztecs, it was not the end of life, but a transition to the next world.

You see, those who created this practice were not just celebrating death like the Spaniards thought. They used the skull, which signifies death for most of the world, but those who understand the roots of Dia De Los Muertos know that it signifies rebirth-a thought and idea that the Spaniards and most everyone else holds deep in their faith.
