Subject: RE: Folklore: Anyone celebrate day of the dead?
We have a large Hispanic community at the women's center where I do volunteer work, so we have quite a celebration for Dia de los Muertos on November 2. The women build an altar over the last few days before November 2, and it's always very moving to look at. I took a picture of this year's altar on Monday. I left the file size big so you can zoom in and look at all the little things people put on the altar.
On Wednesday, we'll have a mariachi band, and a little ritual to bless the altar and remember those who have gone on before us.
