About this document
Understanding Calacas and Their Significance by api-298997162 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Calacas are small figurines traditionally made of wood or clay that are created in Mexico to symbolize death in a joyous, humorous way rather than a mournful way. They originated from the Aztec culture as representations of skulls but are now more lighthearted depictions. Calacas are often displayed during Dia de los Muertos celebrations to welcome the deceased back and remind them of fun, and to teach children that death should be remembered with happiness, not sadness.
