1 NOV 2023 · Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is a colorful and joyful festival celebrated primarily in Mexico and among Mexican communities worldwide. Contrary to its name, it's a vibrant tribute to the departed. Rooted in indigenous traditions and Catholicism, it blends ancient customs with modern celebrations. The holiday, from October 31st to November 2nd, involves building ofrendas (altars) in homes, visiting cemeteries, and decorating with marigold flowers, sugar skulls, candles, and incense. It's a time to honor the deceased with their favorite foods and beverages. La Catrina, a famous skeletal figure, is a key symbol. Families come together to share stories and celebrate the lives of those who have passed, keeping their memories alive. Dia de los Muertos is a celebration of both life and death, reminding us that death is a natural part of existence and that love and family endure, even in death.
