Wow, Carmelito!!! Thanks so much for sharing some of the history as well as your personal experience of Dia de Los Muertos with us! Your photos are absolutely stunning and reading made me feel like I was actually in Mexico seeing this in real life. I could almost smell the incense. :D You really have a way with words!

The ofrendas are so elaborate and filled with detail. It's clear that they are made with love and reverence for the departed family members and ancestors.

Even as I write to you, I keep hitting repeat on the song you shared because it's both haunting and beautiful. I completely understand why it's a song many have interpreted.

You've totally piqued my curiosity and I want to learn more. And perhaps experience it for myself. My family and I do similar traditions for celebrating our beloved departed ones and ancestors, so it would be nice to see how another culture does it.

Thank you again for sharing with us! Perhaps other members will be inspired to do the same! Especially since we now have a tutorial teaching how to upload pictures. :D

Wishing that you continue to have a deeply enriching time while you're in Mexico. :)
