...vs. Day of the Dead Amy Barrows Com/170 10/31/2012 Margaret Munger Similar traditions are held between the Day of the Dead and Halloween, yet they have very different origins. They both started out as their own separate festivals/celebrations but over time they gained either Catholic or Christian tendencies. Which only served to make them even more similar, leading confusion for many Americans now a days. Most people know of the similarities but do not know of the origins of either! Even most Americans who celebrate Halloween do not know of it is origins! Day of the dead was a celebration to celebrate the Aztec goddess Mictecacihuatl, Lady of the dead. They celebrated for about a month long in their calendar what all know as August. They had all the same traditions as they do now but back then the altars/shrines they made were at the graves themselves to bring the family/descend person back to the land of the living. Aztecs would spread the flor de muertos (flower of the dead) from the grave sites to their homes. A way of leading the lost souls to their families and loved ones. Aztecs would even make foods and treats with the deceased name on the calaveras de azucar (skull of sugar). This all went on for many centuries until the Spaniards came and influenced their religion with more Catholic ties. Example being they changed the month-long celebration to be only two days coinciding with November 1, All saints day and November 2, All souls...

...The Boondock Saints I chose to view and analyze the film The Boondock Saints. There were many different elements I focused on while viewing the film. These elements were broken down into the following categories: narrative, theatrical elements, cinematography, editing, sound, and the overall experience. I will begin with stating my personal interpretations and my own understandings of the narrative. Throughout the film there are two main characters. These two characters are Irish brothers that share a deep sense of their Catholic religion. Their names are Murphy and Connor McManus. Murphy and Connor are two ordinary men who are put in an extraordinary situation; Connor risks his own life to save the life of his brother. The situation starts from a bar fight with two Russian mafia soldiers. The Russians lose the fight with the two brothers; the next morning they come after the McManus brothers for revenge. Murphy and Connor kill the two men in self defense and go to the police station. While in the holding cell, they are given a message from a spiritual force to rid the world of evil men. From that moment they devote themselves to a battle between good and evil. Another important character is David Della Rocco, also known as the “Funny Man” or just Rocco. Rocco is a package boy for the Yakaveta family Italian mafia. The head of the Yakaveta family is “Papa” Joe Yakaveta. “Papa” Joe sets up Rocco in a situation to have him killed; Rocco finds out about “Papa” Joe’s plans and...

...IGOROTS * Home * IGOROT SONGS * IGOROT DANCE * IGOROT TRADITIONS * MONEY ON THE MOUNTAIN IGOROT TRADITIONS IGOROT TRADITIONS When we talk about Igorot identity and culture, we also have to consider the time. My point is that: what I am going to share in this article concerning the Igorot culture might not be the same practiced by the Igorots of today. It has made variations by the passing of time, which is also normally happening to many other cultures, but the main core of respect and reverence to ancestors and to those who had just passed is still there. The Igorot culture that I like to share is about our practices and beliefs during the "time of Death". Death is part of the cycle of life. Igorots practice this part of life cycle with a great meaning and importance. Before the advent of Christianity in the Igorotlandia, the Igorots or the people of the Cordilleran region in the Philippines were animist or pagans. Our reverence or the importance of giving honor to our ancestors is a part of our daily activities. We consider our ancestors still to be with us, only that they exist in another world or dimension. Whenever we have some special feasts (e.g., occasions during death, wedding, family gathering, etc.), when we undertake something special (like going somewhere to look for a job or during thanksgiving), we perform some special offer. We call this "Menpalti/ Menkanyaw", an act of butchering and offering animals. During these times we call them...

...Katelyn Long World History Ms. Rizzo 12/16/10 Saint Patrick’s Day Saint Patrick’s Day is an old, historical Irish holiday. It has two histories, the history of Patrick himself, and the history of the day, March 17. It marked an important religious movement in Ireland’s history also. It was significant, and brings many of the important Irish symbols and legends together into one day. The person who was to become St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, was born in Wales, Scotland or Roman-England in about AD 373 to AD 390. His father was Calpurnius; he was a Roman-British army officer. His original name was believed to be Maewyn Succat, and he almost didn't get the job of bishop of Ireland because he didn’t have the required scholarship. Until he was 16, he considered himself a pagan; then he was sold into slavery on the west coast of Ireland by either a group of Irish marauders, or pirates that raided his village. During his captivity, he became closer to God. He escaped from slavery after six years this was when he started to convert to Christianity. He dreamed of having seen God; legend says, he was then dictated by God to escape with a getaway ship. Then he went to Britain where he studied in the monastery under St. Germaine, bishop of Auxerre for about twelve years. During his training he became aware that his calling was to convert the pagans to Christianity. His wanted to return to Ireland, to convert the native pagans to Christianity. But his superiors...

...Saint Patrick's Day is a cultural and religious celebration that happens annually on 17 March to mark the death date of the most commonly recognized patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. It is also a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Newfoundland and Labrador. Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is credited with establishing 300 churches in Ireland and of having converted most of the population to Christianity. Patrick was born in Great Britain to a wealthy Alderman and Christian. At 16 Patrick was kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery in Ireland. During his captivity as a shepherd, he dedicated himself to his religion. He managed to escape captivity six years, later. Returning to England he believed it was his responsibility to bring Christianity to the Irish. St. Patrick's Day was first celebrated in America in 1737, organized by the Irish Society of Boston, including a feast and religious service. This first celebration of the holiday in the colonies was largely to honour and celebrate the Irish culture that so many colonists had been separated from. St. Patrick's Day parades started in New York in 1762 by a group of Irish soldiers in the British military who marched down Broadway. This began the tradition of a military theme in the parade. Parades and wearing green have always been a traditional part of St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Believe it or not, the color of St. Patrick was not actually green,...

...User: from the marketing perspective, what has guinness done to ensure its longevity? Weegy: They made sure that Guinness can be remembered on St Patricks day. [ [ Guinness has stood the test of time, in part, because it has carefully managed its equities and resisted the urge to overextend itself into sub-brands that don?t resonate with its brand promise. Guinness? equity strategy is simple, yet effective: identify the core brand assets and leverage them across all touchpoints, all of the time. Black as the dominant color, the harp as logo and a unique opening ceremony are all symbols of the elite club to which Guinness loyalists belong.

...Belonging is considered to be a broad concept which can offer many individuals a sense of security, identity as well as connectivity. An individual’s viewpoints on belonging can be related to the interactions they have with others, as a positive view may enhance their sense of belonging, whereas, a negative view may limit their ability to do so. Through an individual’s inability to express their positive attitudes towards others, can often be the reason why one may reject the ideas of belonging through acts such as rebellion and self-alienation. This perception can be explored within Peter Skrzynecki’s poem St Patricks College, as it portrays the characters partial experiences of belonging through his relationships with others which lead to his self-alienation and rebellion. In contrast with this is Peter Skrzynecki’s poem 10 Mary Street which explores the positive attitudes of belonging through the relationships of family as well as culture. Similarly the film Little Miss Sunshine directed by Jonathan Dayton has incorporated both positive and negative attitudes of belonging and has incorporated the physical, emotional and social factors of belonging within a community and family. The negative attitudes and views within a group or community has reiterated a limited sense of belonging within Peter skrzynecki’s poem St Patricks College. The persona within the poem recalls his schooling years of sadness whilst using a dull tone to demonstrate his isolation from the school community...

...be more in line with what I was looking for. Misconceptions First, let me just say that this meeting was far longer than I had expected. It was three hours to be exact, broken into three meetings. I hadn’t expected anyone to really enjoy going to church on their day off from work, let alone spend three hours there. Although it was long, it was extremely informative and the speakers were quite impressive given the fact that they were not paid for their time spent preparing or giving their sermons. This was one of the things that really blew all my preconceived ideas about religious worship. I thought that all religious clergy were in it for the money but, in fact, no Mormon clergy are paid for their service. And another thing I learned from my time spent in the church was that the “Mormons” prefer to be referred to as “Latter Day Saints.” Latter Day Saints, I thought, was a little over the top but after asking about it, I learned that the official name of the church is “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.” This was a bit confusing to me at first, but I found out from a lady I was sitting next to in the Sunday school class that Mormons are Christians and that they believe the term Saint to mean...

...Latter-day Saints.” I myself and not Mormon and don’t really have a religious preference, I find myself fascinated with the religion. One of the things that I find fascination is The Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Not only is the one of the oldest choirs it is also one of the more famous as well. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir performs in more than 28 countries and in multiple cities around the US. One of the biggest things the Mormon religion tried to instill on every member is leading by example. This is a practice that most members of the church try to follow. Some of the things include cursing, drinking, smoking and pretty much anything that is bad for their bodies. Mormons believe that by leading by example they are spreading good to others so that they make the right choices. I feel that the reason that the Mormon religion is criticized so much is due to the face that people that practice other religions take this as a threat to try to change what they believe in. Food supply is another very big part of the Mormon culture. For years the Church has counseled their members to build a year supply of food and other necessary supplies in case of emergencies or if tragedy were to strike. To prepare for this there are certain guideline that need to be followed. These include mostly of nonperishable items like grains and other dried foods such as beans and lentils. Depending on the size of the family will depend on how much of each item need to be purchased. References All About...

...Mormonism Joseph Smith, Jr. in the early 19th century stated the Mormon or Latter-Day Saint movement. It began with the context of Christian Restorationism. The history of the Mormons has been surrounded by controversy and persecution. According to Mormon history When Smith was 14 he wondered which of the Christian sects is the true Christian faith. According to Smith God and Jesus appeared to him in a vision. They told him that none of them where and that they had fallen away from the true faith and advised him not to join any of them. They promised to restore the true faith. Joseph Smith became the first prophet of the Mormons (ReligionFacts, 2010). The Mormon faith differs somewhat to Christianity. They are very much a family oriented religion and children seem to follow their parents into this faith without question. Today there is still controversy surrounding some of the past beliefs of the Mormons and some rogue groups that still follow the old beliefs. The interview for this paper was conducted at The Church of Latter Day Saints in Buckhannon, WV. The inside of the church does not differ much to other new churches built in today’s society. It consists of the Chapel and classrooms. Interviewing one of the members of the church gave me in-site into some of their beliefs. A Mormon church service is three hours long it is divided up into three parts the main worship service, Sunday school and they then breakup into two classes priesthood for men and relief society...
