Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos translating to “Day of the Dead” is a Mexican holiday traditionally celebrated on November 1st and 2nd to pay respects and remember deceased love ones. Mexican families do this through various means, they create colorful altars known as Ofrendas, translating roughly to offerings, in their homes. These altars are typically decorated with flowers, photos, candies, and the deceased person’s favorite foods and drinks. Other traditions include the consumption of sugar skulls known as calaveras and pan de muerto which is just a sweet bread. Caucus will be hosting a Dia de los Muertos celebration where we will decorate the Sundial as our Ofrenda and giving Pan de Muerto and Chocolate de Abuelita. We will also have performances from Mariachi Leones De Columbia and Ballet Folklorico CIelito Azul.
