THE MEXICAN
CELEBRATION OF EL DIA DE LOS MUERTOS
is
derived from the Spanish and
indigenous Mexican traditions.
Los dias de los muertos is a time when
friends and family who have died are
honored and great preparations
are
made for their returning spirits.
Typically the two day long celebration
begins November 1st, All Saints
Day,
and November 2, All Souls Day. This is
a joyous
fiesta honoring the dead with bright
colors, flowers, music,
humor & folk art.
