Dia de Los Muertos-
Every year the whole of Mexico turns out to celebrate the Day of the Dead with parties, feasts and parades.
It’s seen as a chance to laugh at death and show you’re not afraid. Aztecs believed that death was the true state of being - ‘Life is just a dream, only in death are we truly awake’.
It is said that the souls of the departed return home during this time, so the living create beautiful altars known as 'Ofrendas' in their homes and public places. These include photographs of the loved ones, along with a few of their personal belongings, and are beautifully decorated with flowers, incense, food and alcohol to appeal to all senses of the departed to help them find their way.
They say the Day of the Dead is like celebrating the birthday of someone who has passed away, and that we should give them a great party, so come and help us celebrate our loved ones with a fiesta from 11am until 6.00 pm on Saturday 27th October.
Please feel welcome to bring along a photograph (A copy would be best) of your loved one to add to our Ofrenda.
