    <title>Photojournale : Photo documentary and photo journal stories from around the world - Day of the Dead |  El Dia de los Muertos</title>
    <link>http://www.photojournale.com/categories.php?cat_id=63</link>
    <description><![CDATA[El dia de los muertos, or Day of the Dead, has been celebrated throughout Mexico and parts of Central America since pre columbian times. Originally an Aztec celebration, the November 1 and 2 holiday has become infused with Catholic symbolism and faith.<br />
?Our relations with death are intimate?, Octavio Paz wrote in Labrynth of Solitude, ?more intimate perhaps than those of any other people.?<br />
He further described the celebration as an escape from the difficulties of every day existence ? not only the poverty, but also a kind of blackness in the soul which perhaps has its roots in the joining of two antagonistic groups, the Indian and the Spanish.<br />
Series by Pulitzer nominated photographer Mike Hutmacher ( Skippy Sanchez)]]></description>
