by Angel Rivera on 2024-10-29T08:26:00-04:00 in Center for Excellence in Learning through Service (CELTS), Hutchins Library | 0 CommentsOnce again, the HOP (Hispanic Outreach Project), out of CELTS (Center for Excellence in Learning Through Service), brings us the beautiful and traditional display for Dia de los Muertos. The display can be viewed during regular library hours, and it will be open through the first week of November 2024. It is free and open to the public.
HOP provided the following statement and description of this tradition:
Dia de los Muertos
October 31st-November 2
Dia de los Muertos brings families together to remember, honor, and celebrate deceased loved ones. This day is celebrated in many Latin American countries. Dia de los Muertos is NOT the equivalent of Halloween.
Families build altars to honor their ancestors. These altars are filled with pan de muerto (bread for th dead), favorite foods of the loved ones, beverages (including alcohol), sugar skulls, incense (aromatic tree resin that is burned to produce incense), toys, and candles.
The flower associated with Dia de los Muertos is the marigold (Cempasuchil). Paths are made with marigold petals to guide the souls to the altar.
October 31st: The souls of children (angelitos).
November 1: The souls of adults.
November 2: The souls depart.
