This also happens in other Romanic languages like French "la mort" , Portuguese "a morte" , Italian "la morte" and Romanian "moartea".
Since the pre-Columbian era Mexican culture has maintained a certain reverence towards death, which can be seen in the widespread commemoration of the Day of the Dead.
Elements of that celebration include the use of skeletons to remind people of their mortality. The cult of Santa Muerte is indeed a continuation of the Aztec cult of the goddess of death Mictecacihuatl Nahuatl for "Lady of the Dead" clad in Spanish iconography.
In Aztec mythology , Mictecacihuatl is the " Queen of Mictlan " Mictlancihuatl , the underworld , ruling over the afterlife with Mictlantecuhtli , another deity who is designated as her husband.
Her role is to keep watch over the bones of the dead. She presided over the ancient festivals of the dead, which evolved from Aztec traditions into the modern Day of the Dead after synthesis with Spanish cultural traditions.
She is said now to preside over the contemporary festival as well. She is known as the "Lady of the Dead" since it is believed that she was born, then sacrificed as an infant.
Mictecacihuatl was represented with a defleshed body and with jaw agape to swallow the stars during the day.
As the result of internal migration in Argentina since the s the veneration of San La Muerte has been extended to Greater Buenos Aires and the national prison system as well.
Saint Death is depicted as a male skeleton figure usually holding a scythe. Although the Catholic Church in Mexico has attacked the devotion of Saint Death as a tradition that mixes paganism with Christianity and is contrary to the Christian belief of Christ defeating death, many devotees consider the veneration of San La Muerte as being part of their Catholic faith.
The rituals connected to and powers ascribed to San La Muerte are very similar to those of Santa Muerte. He is depicted as a skeletal figure with a scythe, sometimes wearing a cape and crown.
He is associated with death and the curing of diseases. The image of the death is also associated with Exu , lord of the crossroads, who rules the midnight and the cemeteries.
One popular saying about the Grim Reaper is: Smrt ne bira ni vreme, ni mesto, ni godinu "Death is not choosing a time, place or years" - which means she is destiny.
Related archaic terms are Beenderman "Bone-man" , Scherminkel very meager person, "skeleton" and Maaijeman " mow -man", a reference to his scythe.
The concept of Magere Hein was pre- Christian and tied to Pagan beliefs, but it was Christianized and likely gained its modern name and features scythe, skeleton, black robe etc.
The designation "Meager" comes from its portrayal as a skeleton , which was largely influenced by the Christian " Dance of Death " Dutch: Its use was possibly related to the comparable German concept of "Freund Hein".
Notable is that many of the names given to Death can also refer to the Devil, showing how his status as a feared and "evil" being led to him being merged into the concept of Satan.
In Scandinavia , in Norse mythology death was personified in the shape of Hel , the goddess of death and ruler over the realm of the same name, where she received a portion of the dead.
She wore a black hood. She would go into a town carrying either a rake or a broom. If she brought the rake, some people would survive the plague; if she brought the broom, however, everyone would die.
Later, Scandinavians adopted the classic Grim Reaper with a scythe and black robe. The goddess of death was a sister of the goddess of life and destiny, Laima , symbolizing the relationship between beginning and end.
Yama rides a black buffalo and carries a rope lasso to carry the soul back to his home, called Naraka , pathalloka, or Yamaloka. There are many forms of reapers, although some say there is only one who disguises himself as a small child.
His agents, the Yamadutas , carry souls back to Yamalok. The balance of these deeds allows Yama to decide where the soul has to reside in its next life, following the theory of reincarnation.
Yama is also mentioned in the Mahabharata as a great philosopher and devotee of the Supreme Brahman. Buddhist scriptures also mention Mara , much in the similar way.
Yama was introduced to Chinese mythology through Buddhism. Separately, the Kojiki relates that the Japanese goddess Izanami was burnt to death giving birth to the fire god Hinokagutsuchi.
She then entered a realm of perpetual night called Yomi-no-Kuni. Her husband Izanagi pursued her there but discovered his wife was no longer as beautiful as before.
After an argument, she promises she will take a thousand lives every day, becoming a goddess of death. A psychopomp , he escorts all—good or evil—from the land of the living to the netherworld when the time comes.
In I Chronicles Jewish tradition also refers to Death as the Angel of Dark and Light, a name which stems from Talmudic lore.
In Talmudic lore , he is characterized as archangel Michael. According to the Midrash , the Angel of Death was created by God on the first day.

Hand reaping is now rarely done in industrialized countries, but is still the normal method where machines are unavailable or where access for them is limited such as on narrow terraces.
The more or less skeletal figure of a reaper with a scythe — known as the "Grim Reaper" — is a common personification of death in many Western traditions and cultures.
In this metaphor, death harvests the living, like a farmer harvests the crops. A mechanical reaper or reaping machine is a mechanical, semi-automated device that harvests crops.
Mechanical reapers and their descendant machines have been an important part of mechanised agriculture and a main feature of agricultural productivity.
The 19th century saw several inventors in the United States claim innovation in mechanical reapers. The various designs competed with each other, and were the subject of several lawsuits.
Obed Hussey in Ohio patented a reaper in , the Hussey Reaper. The new reaper only required two horses working in a non-strenuous manner, a man to work the machine, and another person to drive.
In addition, the Hussey Reaper left an even and clean surface after its use. However, Robert became frustrated when he was unable to perfect his new device.
With permission granted, [7] the McCormick Reaper was patented [8] by his son Cyrus McCormick in as a horse-drawn farm implement to cut small grain crops.
Cyrus McCormick claimed that his reaper was actually invented in , giving him the true claim to the general design of the machine.
Over the next few decades the Hussey and McCormick reapers would compete with each other in the marketplace, despite being quite similar.
In , the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a ruling on the invention of the polarizing reaper design. It was determined that the money made from reapers was in large part due to Obed Hussey.
This request also was granted him, and Joshua sprang with the knife over the wall of paradise; the angel, who is not allowed to enter paradise, caught hold of the end of his garment.
Joshua swore that he would not come out, and God declared that he should not leave paradise unless he was absolved from his oath; if not absolved, he was to remain.
The Angel of Death then demanded back his knife, but Joshua refused. The Angel of Death receives his orders from God Ber. As soon as he has received permission to destroy, however, he makes no distinction between good and bad B.
A legend to the same effect existed in Ireland in the Middle Ages Jew. He and his many subordinates pull the souls out of the bodies, and guide them through the journey of the afterlife.
Islamic tradition discusses elaborately, almost in graphic detail, as to what exactly happens before, during, and after the death.
The angel of death appears to the dying to take out their souls. The righteous believers answer correctly and live in peace and comfort while the sinners and disbelievers fail and punishments ensue.
Death is a significant event in Islamic life and theology. It is seen not as the termination of life, rather the continuation of life in another form.
In Islamic belief, God has made this worldly life as a test and a preparation ground for the afterlife ; and with death, this worldly life comes to an end.
