VIDA …. MUERTE
Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos) is a Mexican holiday observed throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.
The celebration takes place on October 31, November 1 and November 2, in connection with the triduum of Allhallowtide: All Hallows’ Eve, Hallowmas, and All Souls’ Day. Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars called ofrendas, honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed, and visiting graves with these as gifts.
They also leave possessions of the deceased.

I witnessed this celebration once about 10 years ago in a cemetery complete with Mariachis, people wearing skeleton costumes, lots of dancing and eating. It was beyond fascinating!

It is indeed a very important celebration. I recently saw the animated movie “The Book of Life” …. it’s a celebration of today.
Great movie. I didn’t expect it to be so well done.
