Halloween is over, but the dead have not yet been completely honored. An old Mexican tradition, actually a tradition dating to the days of the Aztecs, Day of the Dead honors those who have died. Where as one of Halloween's origins come from dressing up to ward of the evil spirits, those who celebrate Day of the Dead decorate to remember those who came before us. Here are a couple of links if you interested in learning more about this wonderful celebration: day-of-the-dead.org and www.diadelosmuertos.us. |
