Mexico has a vast range of festivals, several commemorating national events but mostly religious or spiritual in inspiration. After the Spanish Conquest of 1521, Roman Catholic teachings fused with the beliefs of native civilizations, & even today the popular arts & crafts draw upon the Church as a rich source of imagery. Fiestas are often lavish & extremely costly. With extensive preparations, they commemorate local saints days & religious holidays such as Christmas, Carnival & Holy Week. Many festivals are dominated by masked dances, & the Devil, Death, angels & the Deadly Sins still do battle at fiesta time in countless village squares. During the Days of the Dead (All Saints & All Souls days, 1st & 2nd November), the deceased are thought to visit friends & relatives on earth.

Drawing on her extensive travels in Mexico & the collections she has helped create in the British Museum, Chloe Sayer provides a living context to show what makes these festivities so attractive & also uniquely Mexican. ...
