On the upcoming Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) in Mexico, people celebrate and honor deceased loved ones.

The celebration typically involves various traditions such as ofrendas and calaveras. It’s important to note that the Day of the Dead is a deeply rooted cultural tradition in Mexico and has both indigenous and Catholic influences. While it involves festivities and joyful remembrance, it’s ultimately a way to honor and remember those who have passed away. The specific customs and traditions may vary from region to region within Mexico.

Thank you to Vernon & District Immigrant & Community Services Society for this information regarding Day of the Dead.
