Mexican spirituality
Mexican spirituality is a rich tapestry woven from indigenous beliefs and practices, primarily from cultures like the Aztecs and Maya, combined with elements of Catholicism introduced by Spanish colonizers. This blend creates a unique worldview that emphasizes the interconnectedness of life, nature, and the cosmos, often expressed through rituals, ceremonies, and festivals.
Central to Mexican spirituality is the reverence for ancestors and the natural world. Celebrations such as Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) honor deceased loved ones, reflecting a belief in the continuity of life. Additionally, practices like curanderismo (folk healing) highlight the importance of spiritual and physical well-being in everyday life.
