V - Viva La Mexico

I had literally no idea what to do for V so i just tried to work the title around what I had been thinking about today. The other day I bought a t shirt with a crazy but really interesting skull design it just grabbed my attention when I saw it and I had to buy it! I had no idea where I had seen this before so I looked into this sort of t shirt design and its a design based on the masks worn on the day of the dead, which is hugely celebrated in Mexico. I learnt when researching into this holiday that The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for friends and family members who have died in the past It is mostly celebrated in Mexico where it is a national holiday and the celebration takes place on November the 1st and 2nd. The families are said to build private altars honoring the deceased as well as leaving belongings of the passed family member sugar skulls and sometimes their favourite foods. There are a lot of skull designs used during this holiday to do with the death of people. I like how people celebrate death instead of mourning over it personally i think thats a beautiful way of thinking.
