Dia de los Muertos

Feliz Dia de los Muertos!

Highlights from the Offrenda at the Museo de Dolores Olmedo:


In Mexico people celebrate the Day of the Dead by building altars and bringing offerings of candles, flowers, food, and anything and everything to their loved one's graves. It's a national holiday, but the custom is regional, so not everyone celebrates this way. Halloween is still celebrated with kids begging for candy and money dressed in costumes. Thus concludes today's culture lesson.
