Day of the Dead/Dia de los Muertos
|
|
Day of the Dead
is celebrated in Mexico on November 1 and 2. It coincides with All Soul’s & All Saint’s Day. Indigenous people have combined elements of Catholic observances with their ancient beliefs of honoring deceased loved ones.
Participants believe that on these days spirits of the deceased can reunite with their families. Elaborate festivities are planned to welcome them, including the creation of ornate altars filled with mementos, marigolds, food and drink and folk art skeletons.
Day of the Dead is now observed in many communities in the U.S. The rituals associated with it are both a reverent and joyous way to celebrate life, honor those that have passed, and acknowledge death.
