Read More“Day of the Dead, also known as Dia de Muertos, celebrates the lives of beloved family and friends through offerings of food and drink at private altars or gravesites. Originating from an ancient Aztec tradition celebrating the Mictecacihuatl, the goddess of the dead this festival was initially held during all of August. However, once Mexico was colonized by Spain in the 16th century, the holiday shifted to be closer to All Saints and All Souls Day, landing on November 1st and 2nd. Recognized as a public holiday throughout Mexico, it’s also widely celebrated throughout the U.S. and South America. The offerings, or ofrendas, given to a loved one can vary, but food is an integral part of the Day of the Dead celebration. It’s said that the smells and scents of a loved one’s favorite foods can bring them the energy to continue on in the afterlife.”
