Hello Ponies, i just want to share part of this Holiday of our tradition in Mexico, Day of the Deads, that shares part of the tradition in our country.
The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember members who have died, and help support their spiritual journey
People go to cemeteries to be with the souls of the departed and build private altars containing the favorite foods and beverages, as well as photos and memorabilia, of the departed. The intent is to encourage visits by the souls, so the souls will hear the prayers and the comments of the living directed to them. Celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants remember funny events and anecdotes about the departed.
This pics shows Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars called ofrendas, honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed
