CALACAS: a new concept of what death means
A lot of culture considere that death have bad conceptions: for exemple, the christianism has invented a hole concept of a pesimist live that ends with the death (that's the real world for them because you go to heaven with all the people that you love). But, what happen when you aren't the perfect christian that they want?

They say that you go to the Hell.
Hell is a synonym of pain, sadism, eternal suffering...
I mean that so many cultures described the death with cruelty, making frightened people that live thinking about the suffering of death and don't enjoy the real world where they are.
And I'm thinking... Why can't we live without thinking about death?
or If the death is one of the principal concepts that torture the mind...
Why can't we put more optimism in this concept?
And appears CALACAS.
Calaca is the coloquial form to say skull or skeleton in Mexico.
They're used in the Day of the Deads (November 1) to decorate the celebration:
they are characterized by their colorful clothes, their happy faces and their festive decorations.
They're represented as gratifying rather and they aren't regret figures because the Mexican belief considere that dead souls doesn't like to be remembered as sad souls, so they think that death must be happy and optimistic event.
Mexicans even make humoristic poems to death; and cakes or sweets with the representation of calacas (so it's for this reason that the english people say "Sugar Skulls" to refer to a calaca).
Another food include pan de muerto: a sweet egg bread made in various shapes and often decorated with white frosting to look like twisted bones!
