*** About Dia de Los Muertos: Dia de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a fascinating cultural festival originating from Mexico, dedicated to honoring the deceased. The multi-day holiday involves family and friends gathering to remember friends and family members who have died. Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars called ofrendas, honoring the deceased using Calaveras (skull) decorations, Marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed. Rooted in pre-Columbian and Catholic customs, it is both a poignant and joyful celebration that contrasts deeply with how mourning is observed in other cultures.
