Abstract
⺠First study to explore the relationship between mortality and public holidays in a Latin American context (Morelos, Mexico). ⺠Incorporates quantitative and qualitative methods within the framework of cultural epidemiology. ⺠Suggests that Mexican cultural and religious beliefs guide the interpretation of death as a 'beautiful' process.
