MEChA de SMCC

En nuestra cultura mexicana creemos que una persona muere tres veces.
La primera, cuando su último suspiro abandona el cuerpo y deja de funcionar.
La segunda, cuando su cuerpo es entregado a la tierra, regresando a la madre que nos dio vida. Pero el alma aún no desaparece; viaja a la tierra de los mu***os, donde descansa y espera… no para ser juzgada, sino para reencontrarse con sus seres queridos.

Ese reencuentro ocurre en el Día de Mu***os, una fecha llena de júbilo, color y amor.
Celebramos porque creemos que ese día, nuestros seres amados regresan a casa por un instante.
Y mientras los recordemos, mientras su nombre siga vivo en nuestra memoria, ellos no habrán mu**to del todo.

Porque la tercera muerte… es el olvido

In our Mexican culture, we believe that a person dies three times.
The first death comes when our last breath leaves the body and it ceases to function.
The second occurs when the body returns to the earth — to the mother that once gave us life. Yet the soul does not vanish; it journeys to the land of the dead, where it rests and waits… not for judgment, but for the day it can return home to reunite with loved ones.

That day is Día de Mu***os, a celebration filled with joy, color, and love.
We rejoice because we believe our loved ones come back home, even if just for a moment.
And as long as we remember them — as long as their names live in our hearts — they never truly die.

Because the third death… is being forgotten. 💀🌼
