Mexico Baby declared dead revives inside coffin

Ah, I just knew that it meant day of the dead, and assumed it would be associated with Halloween, I was mistaken.

About the date, but you're right about the association. Halloween is a weird unnatural hybrid of Samhain - a Celtic autumn festival, and one of the four major markers of the calendar (along with Imbalc, Beltane, and some other one) - and the Catholic traditions of All Saint's Day and All Souls' Day, plus a little smattering of the northeastern European tradition of Walpurgis Night.

Just looked it up - the other Gael holiday I was thinking of is Lughnasadh. Ask Sionnach how to pronounce that one.

And, now the kid is dead again.

What a crappy life.

Damn.

Aw, man.

[Mikey]

I don't if there's a positive afterlife... but for this kid's sake I hope there is.

I can't imagine how badly it would fuck up a person to have your child die......twice. Good god.
