Day of the Dead
🕯️ Dia de los muertos 🕯️
Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) is a two
day holiday that reunites the living and dead. Families create ofrendas
(Offerings) to honor their departed family members that have
passed. These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers,
photos of the departed, and the favorite foods and drinks of the one
being honored.
The offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead
as the departed souls hear their prayers, smell their foods and join in
the celebrations!
