Mesoamerican cultures already had traditions that dialogued closely with the concept of death, like the Aztecs’ concept of Mictlán, its god Mictlantecuhtli and his wife Mictecacihuatl. The Spanish conquistadors' efforts to erradicate these indigenous traditions in the late 15th and early 16th centuries were countered by mesoamerican resistance and endurance that resulted in a syncretic tradition today of celebrating such conversation with death during the Catholic All Saints’ Day (November 1) and All Souls’ Day (November 2).
