My girlfriend is Mexican and I came to know amazing things about Mexico. You guys have amazing culture and people. Long live Mexico.
Gracias 🙃
¡Gracias!
Thanks
Whats her @ bro?
before some random sicario come and kill you for no reason lol
A beautiful culture of people. I’m not Mexican but I believe that instead of just being sad that someone has died that their life needs to be celebrated, be thankful that they lived. Also, it is still okay to be sad when you lost someone, I’m just saying that you should also be happy that they lived.
My friend who lives in Mexico introduced me to the beautiful tradition, and it made me think differently, after loosing my grandparents I’ve realised it’s better to celebrate their lives and remember then and praise them, I’m sure they wouldn’t want us to constantly be sad.
Mexico as a whole is beautiful and I have so much respect for the people
@@MohidPvE YES! I agree! Celebration of life!
Yes Mexicans are great they love to grap and Dash your house, what you have belongs to them ^^

My aunt told me a crazy story that happened to her, when she was a child in dia de Los muertos in Mexico. My grandma and my uncles and aunts went to the cemetery to put more candles and food. My aunt wandered off she was about 7. She saw some delicious food someone had left for their lost one. When she was about to grab it inches away, someone slapped her hand. No one was there. Other ppl were far away. She got chills and ran to my grandma. Not a scary story but something bout Dia de Los Muertos.
Yes I believe... When you put your ofrenda and eat it next day you will notice that the food doesn't have flavor, nada de sabor... nada... our family comes back each year and I am glad to know that.
@@anelayala8187 You eat the food you put out as an offering?
My family has a supper together with plates filled and set out for the deceased and once the supper is over we take the plates outside.
They are always empty the next day either from the dead or from animals but if there were food left we would never eat it.
You do not eat an offering for someone else especially the dead.
@@sometimessnarky1642 yes that's true even though I'm not Mexican in ancient Chinese culture people also honor their loved ones with offerings of food and eating the food is prohibited.
Had my own experience I took candy from an alter to find my hand biting with two partially deep scratches on the backside of my hand spooked me out
A 7 year old should know better in my opinion
Viva Mexico! Greetings from Armenia!
COCO brought us here :) . A great culture
Coco? What is that?
It’s the latest Disney Pixar film, very colourful and heartwarming 🙂
not spanish but i would've loved to see their reaction the first time seeing the movie.

It gets me teary eyed looking at how beautiful they make the graves with the flowers. Such a sweet holiday. Nothing scary about it.
As a proud mexican myself it feels so great to have people from all the world admiring and complimenting our culture in the comments section, I wish more people could see the beauty of our country like you guys do❤️🇲🇽
Oh I loved Mexico. Travelled through most of it in three months, and plan to return one day for the dias de Los muertos, but covid-19 got in the way
Mexicans 🇲🇽 on the Day of the Dead, we do not worship death 💀 that is a lie, we remember our dead relatives, because, in reality, you die when you are forgotten.
Greetings from Minatitlán, Veracruz 🇲🇽
ANDRES MORA I agree! I’m not Mexican, but I love the tradition. Celebrating the lives the dead had is important, and the Day of the Dead isn’t ‘weird’ or ‘creepy’. I think it’s a really nice tradition that brings people together.
Ola wey, saludos desde el estado de México al lado del volcán
USA, really lacks spiritually!! My dad's family always visited their loved ones resting place on nov 2, We would have a picnic at the cemetery. We would sing their favorite songs, tell stories about them, eat their favorite food. The thought of having their spirit near me, gives me comfort. Their story and songs give me joyful memories. If u don't understand it, or like it, just stay away, but for those that like it, join us, but don't make a mockery of it, if you don't do ur duty to ur Departed familia and friends, don't party, it's not a big Holoween party, it has deep meaning!
I love being Mexican and I’m soo proud of my Culture viva Mexico 🇲🇽❤️❤️ and our culture!!!!
They so kind to me. I love your culture. I even fly to cancun, like 3 or 4 times in the row.
I love my traditions too! Viva México!
siiii, respect to our culture!!
Never during any Thanksgiving or Christmas or New Years will I forget my grandparents, especially my last late grandma who passed away this year. Celebrating a holiday without any of them is so sad. I am so glad i had such generous grandparents. Every one of them. Rest in Peace forever Angel, Lorrie, Jim and lastly Miren. If they had but infinite gifts the world would have recieved forever. I am so lucky to have known them.
It is ONLY a Mexican custom, originated with the Aztecs. Latin America does NOT celebrate the same way.
That's 100% true
Yep, it takes genius!!
It's not only Mexican.
This celebration exists in other countries and is tied to a Catholic tradition of celebrating November 1st as All saints and Nov. 2 for all souls.
@@carlosrodas423 no
@@carlosrodas423 Totally different customs. Mexico is the only country with this specific celebration.
Brought by the Spanish? What are you on about? Mesoamerican cultures believe the dead live in the underworld called Mictlan, which is not a permanent place, therefore, the living welcome them once a year. Dead is seen as part of a cycle, not an end, and it is not tragic by any means. The goddess of Death is also the goddess of fertility, because from death comes life. This celebration goes back thousands of years, and was only made to coincide with the All Saints Day by the Spaniards, it was celebrated in August before the Conquest.
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Catholic Church brought by españoles
Like with the Celtic Samhain. It was put on October 31st and they changed it to All Hallows Eve then later to Halloween. Samhain originally was in November and celebrated the Ancestors marked The Horned God's passing until is rebirth at The Winter Solstice. The Goddess as Crone took him to The Underworld to await His rebirth at The Winter Solstice and because of this the Veil Between The Worlds Vanished. Allowing The Spirits to return to celebrate for a short time.
@@jackieayala9860 most of those Catholics are now evangelicals who attack anyone not part of their many churches...
They were talking about Catholicism lol
Me and my parents are celebrating Dia de los Muertos for the first time today. Since the week was very busy for all of us, we were only able to make a small ofrenda but I'm glad I get to celebrate and find some closer for my family members and pets who have left. Happy Dia de los Muertos to everyone!
Correction! The tradition has being celebrated since the Teotihuacan era, which is 1,500 years before the Spanish arrived to America.
There is evidence of it in the caves around the Teotihuacan Pyramids Arquelogical Site
Ty, I said something similar. They need to get their FACTS correctly. Its 100% NATIVE AMERICAN not european..
National Geographic only adds to the cultural ignorance so abundant in the US
I Am Catholic, and Mexican.
and yes, Catholicism is in this celebration too.
It was combined with Aztec and Catholic traditions
I love Mexican day of the dead! I celebrate it every year here in Los Angeles by going to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Viva Mexico!!!
Awesome! Your comment made me think of the book Famous Skulls; have you ever heard of it? It feature Hollywood celebrities with a day of the dead theme
Viva la vida!
I am Mexican and in my country there is a very popular saying that we say to every foreigner who asks about our culture and it is this: "Mexico is the only place in the world where death is made of sugar." Greetings.
qué lindo
This seems like such a happy and festive culture, I love it. Makes me feel so happy.
I'm disappointed. I expected something better from NatGeo. You didn't explain the traditional flowers(cempazuchitl) used, or who is the Catrina, how the dead are supposed to enjoy the food, etc. I think you should have consulted with a Mexican expert who knows what every detail means. Even your MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE CUMBIA or SALSA or some other non-Mexican music.
MrTachyon3000 thats what i thought also, but information is there for anyone interested
Totally agree!
It’s pretty lame if you ask me
Starting from the fact that Mexican day of the dead it’s totally different from the way the rest of Latin America’s catholic day of all saints
NatGeo isn't what it used to be... it was bought out.
Can you point me to a good video that does explain these things in English?
I love my culture and my people....VIVA MEXICO!!!

im here for Coco “Dia de los Muertos” Mexican’s unique and colorful tradition.
Thank you for appreciating it !
It’s looks all Colorfully, Vibrant and Alive too...
@@izzyyellowhair7117 Alive is the main thing here. Day of the dead honors and remembers the loved ones we knew in life before they died. Think of it as a massive family reunion every year. Instead of mourning its for celebration of life and family.

This holiday makes me wish I lived in Mexico City: how awesome it'd be to look out of my apartment window and see these celebrations :')
Phileos Sophia so you would rather see outside an apartment window rather than being involved in the celebrations? Strange.
theburners32141 I largely enjoy the world through a window of some sort. For example, I would consider RUclips to be a window to all of these videos. We're all different. Honestly, I'd prefer the contemplative privacy of my apartment over the stressful and crowded streets.
It must be amazing to witness! 💀
Phileos Sophia RIGHT NOW IM LIVING IT!!!
I’m sure everyone is kind and different in there own way
Dont care if im american, nov 1st im putting on a sugar skull outfit and dancing away
This holiday is a rather lovely one because you remember dead loved ones while eating food and lighting candles...
I wanna go to mexico so i can join the partys on dotd
Yang The Clydesdale so cool! Good on you and you’re welcome in México anytime! Go to Michoacán my parents state! They really have beautiful celebrations honoring the dead 💀
I’m glad you like our tradition!! You are welcome to Mexico :) make sure you don’t make your outfit seem like cultural appropriation, you’re doing it for your ancestors and loved one who passed away. Do this for them in honor ! :>
don't for get the altar for a loved one-- it starts in october
Awesome. Do it in a respectful manner and celebrate. Fyi, its not a sugar skull costume. A costume yes, but it is a catrina. Two different things.
It's november 2nd actually
It’s not Latin American culture
That’s like saying American “thanks giving” it’s an anglophone holiday
Mexican day of the dead it’s a tradition from central southern Mexico
NOT throughout Latin America
Humongous Chungus well natives of America celebrated this from central mexico to northern Central America
Im Guatemalan and we celebrate day of the dead, we have lots of colors and decorations why dont u just look it up
in Ecuador we celebrate the same way more or less.
@@esp_ninja6337 Im Guatemalan, we celebrate HUGELY with dia de los muertos, differently from mexico but we still celebrate it. Also stfu lol, mexico isn't the start of freakin latino culture. All of it is a mix of the mayans and aztecs and spaniards. Which The Center Of Mayan Civilization Is in Guatemala.
@@esp_ninja6337 also do you fcking know that all of us come from either the same tribe a similar one??
If you're a true Mexican you will realize there's a lot of inaccurate information about this tradition on this video. The intent to inform about this is appreciated though.
A true Mexican 😂
like what?
I'm not Mexican but I noticed some
It's dia de muertos. Not dia de los muertos
Like each country celebrating it, this is a MEXICAN tradition and that’s it. Others may copy it after the COCO movie but this is a MEXICAN tradition not Latin American..
México!! ♡

Although I'm American, I love Mexican culture so much💛♥️💚
I’m Chicano. 🇲🇽🇺🇸 I was born in the us.
I love how instead of treating death as a sad thing, we Mexicans celebrate the life that was lived. Such a beautiful tradition from a beautiful culture.
I love being a Mexican♡ I love Dia de Muertos♡
Such a beautiful tradition from such beautiful people. I love Mexican people, always so happy and everything is a celebration. Just beautiful people.
Spain didn’t introduced this beautiful celebrations to Mexico, And Didn’t even take part in It, in any way. Our ancestors honored their families( we still believed They are around us) because their coming to VISIT ON NOVEMBER 2ND. FELIZ DÍA DE MUERTOS.!!!!!
Exactly, where did they get this info from, a high school teacher?
i love this culture, always so colorful and fun
I may not be Mexican but Dia de los Muertos is one of my favorites of the country's holidays, besides Cinco de Mayo.
I love the idea of loved ones visiting you from the afterlife. It's certainly better than how some others believe "dead people are just plain gone."
It's like what The Book of Life film said; as long as we remember those who have passed, they remain with us. The moment we forget them, they are truly gone
Are you from the Philippines? Because we also have cinco de mayo and dia de los muertos commonly known as araw ng mga patay

We celebrate Dia de los muertos here in New Mexico. Every year is Albuquerque we have the Marigold parade. Thousands attend this wonderful event.
Such an uplifting way of looking at something that society fears and avoids. Love it!
I love the Mexican culture thier so sweet and colourful and deep and understand its like a mixture of both worlds the have a different way of seeing the world and i find that amazing ; it just brings a smile to my face
Finally, thank you someone who knows that it is a mixture and it is not only from the Aztecs

This is such a beautiful holiday. My school is having me write a lesson about a Mexican holiday, and I immediately picked Dia de los Muertos (Or Dia de Muertos!) because it has such a beautiful meaning to it, and I've always loved learning about it.
"Die de muertos"? 🤨
@@karalvarado5523 yo sé yo sé dejarlo ir jaja
🧡🏵️🧡As an American I was scared of this cuz it just looks scary cuz I jst see the skeleton💀 painted faces but as I educated myself and learned about it I have a lot of respect and I admire this and it also helped me deal with my own personal loss and death so thank you for having such a beautiful way of honoring our lost Ones🧡🧡🧡
Those saying this is satanic, know that satanic is your judgement towards others, your lack of knowledge about others' culture. That's what is truly satanic and promotes ignorance and hate.
I'm greatly fascinated with Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration. We follow the same tradition and belief as well, believing the souls of our loved ones return on that day. And preparing their favorite food, but not as joyous and colorful as they do in Mexico.
Marigolds guide the spirits to their altars using their vibrant colors and scent. Marigolds, or flowers in general, also represent the fragility of life. ... The marigold most commonly used in Dia de los Muertos celebrations is the Targetes erecta or African Marigold, otherwise known as cempasúchil or flower of the dead
Amazing, I love this in the rich Mexican culture.
I used to be scared if the word "dead" but seeing this as I saw the movie Coco made it a natural thig to me as part of life
Thank you great Natural Geographic for this nice video
It's a MEXICAN holiday not from Spain not from any other part of latin America its 1000% MEXICAN get it right!!🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
This Is MÉXICO!!! 🇲🇽
ESTO ES MÉXICO!!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽
dia de los Muertos is beautiful I love everything it is for
Even though I'm not Latin I still love the culture
Bailey williams day of the dead isnt "Latin" its basically indigenous because the Aztecs cellebrated it back then.
Have you ever heard of the adult coloring book called Famous Skulls?
It's not latain it Mexican
Is not latin its mexican!!!:)
even tho you are not latin? You mean even tho you are not mexican?
In the Philippines we also celebrate Dia de los muertos but we usually call it All souls day, we always visit the cemeteries, pay respects. Thank you to the Hispanics to bringing your traditions to our fair archipelago, although the only one thing I remember not doing at the cemetery is eating 😂
It was the Mexicans who brought it over, not just any Hispanics
I already knew what it was, a very colorful celebration!
Yes it is!
Oh its so nice i love this kind of feast ...yeah coco movie brought me here also...although we have also feast here in the philippines we also remembered our departed love one but this is different ...i love mexico!!🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
I've always loved the idea of this holiday, what a pleasant way to view death and the memory of loved ones. As an american, I wish this holiday was more popularized instead of halloweeen in the USA
I’m British and have no Mexican heritage but I’d like to celebrate this day
It’s nice to celebrate your family and remember them.
I’m not sure if I’m allowed to celebrate it though...
Yes ofc you can :) ! Just make sure you know how to make a proper ofrenda and are respectful. It's a day to celebrate your loved ones so dont be scared .
Anyone can celebrate ! But just like @xamavii said, be respectful and don’t be scared !

Even though I am not Hispanic, the Day of the Dead is one of my favourite days of the year as I love the tradition of honouring one's ancestors and those we have loved and lost

This is nice to see even though I know about Day of the Dead but just I'm glad you share the other people don't understand what is today's day of the day it is it's a culture that they do for many years and years and many years and honor of their family who are no longer with us and it's also good time to get together and take a moment to remember those so I enjoyed watching it my friend she's Mexican went out to yesterday and we had a good time enjoyed it so I'm doing another day with my miscon shirt on and 2022 and I'm in Florida such a beautiful day I hope everybody else is having a great day and if you're in Texas I hope you enjoyed the parade there I'm going to try to not Mexican parade next year I said fantastic day on RUclips thanks and have a wonderful day to all
What a great tradition. Honoring your loved ones who have passed celebrating with them. I wish we had this is in the USA.
I know a lot of people came here because of coco so am I but I get to celebrate it because my family is Italian we celebrate day of the dead.
I recently bought an adult coloring book called Famous Skulls.... it has dead celebrities like Frida, Marilyn Monroe, Tupac, Pancho Villa, Kurt Cobain, Michael Jackson etc., so yeah this Dia de los Muertos inspired stuff is taking off! Love Mexico and it's rituals!!
Google lowrider Chicano Art some of the best Art.
This has been part of the native culture in America specific to Central and North America, celebrated before Europeans arrived in this continent. The Catholic tried to end this cultural heritage by changing the name of the holiday. The Day of the Dead is one of the few cultural treasures that the Spaniards could not take away from the people
Its not "Central American" it is JUST MEXICAN, Teotihuacan and Aztec origin
Capacitación y Consultoría Estratégica yessssssss
i'ts not "North America" just mexican, like mayans and aztec

It’s not accurate at all
Viva México!
I came here because of the Movie Coco :-)
Joaquin asc me too
Have you ever heard of the book Famous Skulls?
This was going on way before Coco.
chicha roni actually i never knew dia de los muertos until i hve watched Coco, in the Philippines we also have thst tradition, its called All Saints Day or Todos los Santos, not as colorful and festive as Dio de los muertos though 😊
I came I am Mexican
Because of the Galleon Trade that exports and imports trade from Acapulco and Manila for about 200 years, I think The Day Of The Dead of Mexico was brought to the Philippines because we also have this(although not really with festivals but it's a national holiday and you'd see a lot of people in cemeteries that day)
You are correct! That is why there are Mexicans in Acapulco with Filipino blood and some Filipinos around Manila with Mexican blood.
@@Toomuchbullshitt mexican indigenous blood
We had a Dia De Los Muertos themed festival back in college and it was so festive and so much fun.
Wow I love how they decorated their graves I like this celebration 🇵🇰🇵🇰

That's a fantastic way to celebrate the dead.
We couldn't agree more! 💀
@Alexander LeyvaGarcia NO
I watched CoCo & I think the day of the dead is a wonderful way to remember the dearly departed .
Let's be honest in our own western culture we forget our loved ones with time & I think this is a beautiful way to make sure we never ever forget our ancestors..
This is incredible.
We have that in Philippines too. It's called Kalag-kalag it's basically like that but less...dances and stuff
Yeah. Napaisip nga ako na hmmm pareho lang kami ng kultura aaah. Pero, I think saatin wala lang picture nakalagay diba? More like foods and drinks lang. Tas mag iinuman ganon.
Philippines was controlled from the New Spain (Mexico) long time ago, that is normal...
It was an example of the things that the Philippines received from Mexico, because there are many like La Virgen De Guadalupe that you worship in the Philippines, also got from Mexico (in Spanish) camote, tomate, chayote and la hamaca, and also México received the Tamarindo from Asia, It’s very sad that you don’t know your own history because for 250 years even though you were owned by the Spanish crown you were ruled by Mexico (New Spain) specifically from what it’s now Mexico City under the name of Capitanía General de Filipinas, until the independence of Mexico from Spain in 1810 and mainly because of the distance, Mexico “abandoned” the Philippines but stayed a part of the Spanish crown after that ruled from Madrid, until the independence of the Philippines, so it’s normal to see why the Philippines would have something resembling to the Aztec Día de Muertos (Day of the dead)
No one cares about that.. we are here for the day of the dead
Kalag-kalag comes in part from Día de Muertos
That is right about day of the dead we celebrate our ancestors who been past away 💀
My family and I continue to celebrate Día de muertos, but unfortunately there are fewer people who celebrate it. Children are more interested in Halloween and the candies. Before it was very used and popular, but now it isn't. 😭😭 . but there are still places where it is celebrated and very beautiful😍
Two big thumbs up for this upload! 👍 Now I feel like watching "Book of Life".. 👽👍
We're glad you enjoyed!
Watch coco
Book of life and Coco are the my favorite “Mexican” movies!
It's so cool
Isn't it a beautiful celebration?
This is awesome, what a nice parade and honor those who can't be other
No, sorry Natgeo, but NO, Spanish didnt bring Day of Deads or Dia de Muertos to America, Aztecs use to have alot of celebrations to deads (At least 6 of them) but christians forbid them all, except for Dia de Muertos, who got the luck of be in the same day of Dia de todos los Santos or Dia de los Santos Difuntos (Day of all Saints or Day of Holy Deads) Spanish let Dia de Muertos for the day, thinking who natives was celebrating Dia de Todos los Santos, when they was celebrating Dia de Muertos.
False, the Spanish came and mixed their culture with the Aztec and others, and they did not "prohibit" the rest only with evangelization, they were forgotten or mixed (it is not known) and ended up as one, Learn more history

Why no oral narration?
same thing i asked
Thanks for your feedback. Why do you prefer videos with narration?
National Geographic It keeps the video interesting.
National Geographic I have to keep pausing the video to read if it moves to fast and I can't even focus on the images and what's going on because I have to read.. y'all are being lazy just putting words on a video this is not a kung fu movie
National Geographic I enjoyed the video just fine without narration. I don't think it was necessary for this video. People are just too lazy to read.
This was one of the most interesting events of my life: I was about 5 years old
One day I was in a cemetery In Mexico and when I saw flowers and cake for there loved ones that past away and when I was about to to eat some ( I know I was nosey )
And then when I was about to eat some someone slapped my hand and no one was near me. (It wasn’t scary it was quite confusing around my age)
Beautiful & God Bless!! For All The Souls!! 🙏🙏
No more Halloween. Now day of dead November 2. Rip grandpa.🙏🙏🙏✌✌✌❤❤❤💎⚓👸🤴
sorry about your grandpa my grandmother died in 2008 so this year in day of the dead my family get to celebrate of her.
Is it strange that I, someone with no known Mexican ancestors, celebrates Dia de los Muertos??
Not really. I'm not Irish but I celebrate St. Patrick's day and Halloween.
Murica!
If u connect to something go for it just don’t disrespect it. it’s beautiful to see people embrace other cultures. Just remember that u shouldn’t try to cherry pick what u like abt a culture, especially when it comes to the actual people. U cant like the food or the holiday but then hate on the people. Also look into the history as well.
Not at all. If you are celebrating the ones who have passed, it doesnt matter what culture you come from.
No. Anyone can celebrate day of the dead, You don't even have to be mexican! :D
Here in the philippines we also celebrate the life of our ancestors, here we call it UNDAS. We offer them foods on altars together with their pictures/photos and we also clean, paint and decorate their graves with different colors and flowers.
Something wrong in this video was that is a tradition brought to the region by Spanish conquistadors.
No mamen.
With all respect the people from Spain have no idea how beautiful is this tradition.
Interesting and positive not all evil.
After the movie COCO all of the sadden some other countries celebrate "Dia de Muertos" similar to Mexico (-_-) give me a brake! ~ la neta bola de mentirosillos LOL
Xd
Reason why many "Americans" relate Day of the Dead wit Halloween is because of the commercialization of these days. Got 2 stay woke.
Yeah, they have this idea that it's just "Mexican Halloween". One of the crappiest things I've ever heard.
I hope i can attend it someday
A very beautiful day....I want to celebrate for all my friends(and few humans also)....:)
