All about Day of the Dead!

When celebrating Day of the Dead, skeletons aren’t scary! Day of the Dead is a very joyful celebration of the memory of dead ancestors. It helps the families remember the deceased by inviting their spirits to the relatives’ home. A candlelit alter is set up to guide the spirits. Items important to the deceased and their favorite food are also placed on the alter – the dead ancestors are truly the guests of honor! Day of the Dead is a holiday filled with laughter, song, dancing and remembering loved ones who are no longer here. Do you celebrate Day of the Dead, or do you know anyone who does?
