Not Just Halloween: Festivals of the Dead from around the World

Europe and America are by no means the only places with long histories of acknowledging the close
of the harvest season through the remembrance of ancestors and strangers who have passed on.

These traditions also share many elements with festivals held around the world commemorating the
death of spring, as well as loved ones no longer with us. One point of intersection can be found in the
offerings of food that were left on doorsteps on All-Hallows-Eve in many parts of Europe and America
in the hopes that it might prevent wandering spirits from entering the house. Offerings comprise an
integral part of many fall festivals to the dead around the world, such as those celebrated and
practiced in Japan, Cambodia, and Mexico.

JapanThe Obon, or the Festival of the Lanterns

The Festival of the Dead in Japan, which is called Obon, is held every year in the month of August.
The festival often goes by a second name: The Festival of Lanterns. As in the traditional festival of
Halloween, the souls of the departed return to the world of the living during this time. However,
unlike Halloween, in which the souls of the dead are often imagined as malevolent or angry, like the
Headless Horseman, Obon is a day when the spirits return to visit their relatives.

As the sun goes down families light paper lanterns and hang them in front of their houses to help the
spirits find their way home. The celebrations end with families sending colorful paper lanterns lit by
candles floating down the rivers and bays of Japan and out to sea. The string of colorful lights
bobbing in the water are meant to guide the spirits of their loved ones back to the realm of the dead
until next year.

CambodiaThe Pchum Ben at the Pagoda

In the tenth month of the lunar calendar, which usually falls in September, Cambodian Buddhists
celebrate the Pak Ben, 14 days during which they will wake before dawn each morning to prepare
offerings of food and other gifts to the monks living in the local pagoda and to their ancestors. On
the 15th day villagers visit the pagoda with offerings of sweet sticky rice and bean treats wrapped in
banana leaves and other special foods to mark the Pchum Ben, or the Festival of the Dead, which
marks the close of the Pak Ben.

The Pchum Ben festival is a day when people wear their finest clothes, get together with family and
friends at the local pagoda, listen to music and speeches by monks, abbots and other important local
figures, and enjoy the culinary delicacies whipped up for the occasion. While this Buddhist festival
has important and serious underpinnings, it is also a time for people to spend a day visiting their
friends and families, and enjoying the celebrations.

Mexico El Dia de los Muertos, sugared skulls and other delights

El Dia de los Muertos, or the Mexican Day of the Dead Festival, shares some of its origins with
Halloween. And some of the practices today are also similar, from decorating with pictures of
skeletons, to ghoulishly shaped sweets. But El Dia de los Muertos, which may be one of Mexicos
best-known holidays, is also a blending of the European traditions brought by the invading Spanish
conquistadors and the Aztec and Mayan peoples who were the inhabitants of much of Central
America before the arrival of the Spanish.

Aztecs and Mayans both believed that one day of the year the souls of the departed would return to
the realm of the living, where they could visit their families and loved ones. With the arrival of the
Spanish, and Catholicism, the new rulers of Mexico attempted to marshal the fiestas dedicated to the
dead under the auspices of All Saints Day (November 1st) and All Souls Day (November 2nd). The
dates of these two Catholic holidays are now celebrated in Mexico as Los Dias de los Muertos.

This fiesta is marked by the invitation by the living to the dead to return to their family home for a
visit. Families place photographs of their loved ones who have passed on at the deceaseds gravesite
or on a family altar. They also place offerings of flowers, drinks and food alongside the photographs.
This ritual is particularly important for those who have been lost in the year since the previous
festival, and is a way of coming to terms with the death of someone loved and missed.
