day of the dead - november 2nd

"El Dia de los Muertos on November 2nd is an important religious holiday in Mexico. Also called All Souls Day, it is an occasion marked by festive celebrations to honor the dead. Cemeteries are cleaned and decorated, special food and candies cooked, and home altars are designed in homage to one's ancestors. It is a day of joyous remembrance, not of sadness. The special songs, poems, foods and toys created for El Dia de los Muertos reflect this outlook." - Tesoros

This is one of our favorite holidays and cultural traditions! Come discover this fun and festive occasion for yourself! From mid-October to November 2nd we'll have our shrine and large collection of authentic Dia de los Muertos folk art on display.
