Day of the Dead - Dia de los Muertos

by Laura Haberstich on November 18th, 2024 in Ethnic & Cultural Studies, History of Civilization, Holidays & Celebrations, Latin American & Caribbean Studies: Mexico, World History | 0 Comments

November 2nd is the Day of the Dead - Dia de los Muertos. Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) is a two day holiday that reunites the living and dead. Families create ofrendas (Offerings) to honor their departed family members that have passed. These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, photos of the departed, and the favorite foods and drinks of the one being honored. 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! Day of the Dead is a rare holiday for celebrating death and life. It is unlike any holiday where mourning is exchanged for celebration. For more information please see the  Day of the Dead - Dia de los Muertos LibGuide, the Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month LibGuide, and Latin American Studies in Credo LibGuide.
