Whimsy 365: Day 23
Don’t freak out, y’all. It’s day of the dead….like I said, don’t freak out. Before you jump to conclusions, check this out:
Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos [sometimes called, incorrectly, Día de los Muertos]) is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, in particular the Central and South regions, and acknowledged around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and help support their spiritual journey. (reference: Wikipedia)
I learned about this tradition a couple of years ago and I’m now seeing it becoming more mainstream. I actually saw “day of the dead” masks in JoAnn Fabrics!! I think it’s important and interesting to learn about other cultures. If you’d like to learn more about this Mexican tradition and the sugar skull, visit this site.
Blessings,
Teresa
