Latino families to honor their loved ones on Day of the Dead
Tagged: children, Day of the Dead, MexicoPosted on: October 9th, 2007“With less than a week remaining to “officially” celebrate this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month, most in the Latino community know that the real celebration recognizing an important event of Hispanic culture is only just about to begin.
During the last part of October, Latino families prepare to honor their loved ones who have died. Here in the United States, we remember our dead on All Souls Day, but in Mexico it spans two days and has become known as Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead.
On November 1, families remember the souls of the children who have passed on with cemetery rituals called Vigil of the Little Angels, and on November 2, the souls of the adults are honored.”
