Cambios

In several locations, the ban on dancing lasting longer than the one of attending the dance was reported.

The most obvious expression during the mourning period is the changing of the usual clothing for black apparel that reflected the grief of the family’s loss.

Mourning attire began to be less common in the last thirty days, from the 1960s onwards. Some people still dress completely in black following the death of a loved one, but those cases are rather exceptional. On the other hand, the very use of black clothes is losing its former connotation of being in mourning.
