A huge thank you to Ms. Saldana for preparing this beautiful ofrenda for the Day of the Dead - Día de los Muertos celebration! Our Spanish class had an amazing time learning about this meaningful tradition through coloring activities and hands-on experience. The ofrenda, with its vibrant decorations and heartfelt touches, truly brought the spirit of the holiday to life. #DiaDeLosMuertos #Gratitude #CulturalTraditions #SpanishClass
The Day of the Dead is a holiday traditionally celebrated on November 1 and 2, though other days, such as October 31 or November 6. The multi-day holiday involves family and friends gathering to pay respects and remember friends and family members who have died. These celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants remember amusing events and anecdotes about the departed. It is widely observed in Mexico, where it largely developed, and is also observed in other places, especially by people of Mexican heritage.
