Dia de los Muertos Project Dia de los Muertos (day of the dead) is a celebration that takes place on November 2nd. It was created in Mexico to celebrate the lives of those who have passed away. People will make alters filled with flowers, candles, and items relating to their loved one. Another tradition is to eat Pan de Muertos (day of the dead bread). For my Dia de los Muertos I chose to honor and celebrate David Bowie. I had grown up with his music and movies, and he meant a lot to me. For my altar I put a picture, candles, flowers, and a lightning bolt to celebrate.
Overall I enjoyed this experience, I liked that we got to research someone we cared about and celebrate their life. I learned a lot about Mexican history (and Spanish of course) and I liked joining them in their beautiful celebration.
