Pero los mexicas no morimos, sólo nos mudamos a una nueva casa, a un nuevo cuerpo. Y cada año volvemos a visitar nuestro antiguo hogar.Sometimes the hummingbird, sometimes the crow,sometimes the owl, come to tell us when it is our time to go. But we Mexica do not die, we only move to a new house, a new body. And each year we come back to visit our old home. - A Nahuatl poemPatty also shared with us “The Legend of Day of the Dead Cempasuchil Flower”Support the showWe very much want to hear your thoughts.
