Día de Muertos

In late October and early November, we usually set up an altar for the deceased. We display photos of our loved ones and pets, and place foods they enjoyed along with the iconic “pan de muerto.” During this time, it is believed that the spirits return from the afterlife to spend time with their living relatives. It’s worth noting that not all Mexicans share this belief; often, it is done simply out of love and remembrance. Not everyone participates, yet it remains one of the most deeply cherished parts of our culture.
