What is ‘Day of the Dead’ all about?
The days of the dead are truly a celebration of life!
The multi-day holiday involves family and friends gathering to pay respects and remember friends and family members who have died. The celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants remember amusing events and anecdotes about the departed.
Are their treats for the deceased?
During Day of the Dead festivities, food is both eaten by living people and given to the spirits of their departed ancestors as offerings. Tamales are one of the most common dishes prepared for this day for both purposes. In many villages it is customary to offer alcoholic beverages.
How should one celebrate this day?
You can celebrate by remembering loved ones, creating an altar or ofrenda, displaying photographs, sharing favorite memories, preparing traditional foods, or sending a thoughtful Day of the Dead card to someone who observes the occasion.
What is the difference between Day of the Dead and Halloween?
Day of the Dead is a Mexican tradition that honors and remembers loved ones who have passed away. Unlike Halloween, which is associated with costumes, trick-or-treating, and spooky traditions, Day of the Dead focuses on remembrance, family, and celebrating the lives of those who are no longer here.
