The distinctive character of these holidays in Mexico is the result of syncretism between a medieval Spanish European tradition honoring souls of the dead and a pre-Columbian Indian cult of the dead. In contrast with most of the Catholic world which tends toward relatively simple memorial services, Mexico has developed an elaborate set of customs and rituals around these feast days. In the states of Oaxaca and Michoacan it has become one of the most important local fiestas. Souls of dead family members are invited back to their homes to join in the feast. Altars with offerings of food, candy, toys, candles, flowers, and incense are set up in the home for the returning spirits and graves in the cemetery are cleaned and decorated with flowers. Although the Fiesta revolves around death, it is neither grim nor macabre. Rather it is a warm and friendly family reunion of the living and deceased.
