A dedication to the deceased
Día De Los Muertos or Day of the Dead is a two day holiday that reunites the living and dead. This Mexican tradition brings together families and communities to create ofrendas (offerings) to honor their departed family members. The ofrendas or altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, photos, and the favorite foods and drinks of those who have departed. The offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead as the departed souls hear their prayers, smell their foods and join in the celebrations!
Join the community of Talent in honoring loved ones who have passed in this beautiful and celebratory holiday. Below are some of the activities in Talent on Día De Los Muertos.
