Friday, November 2nd
MSC Flag Room, MSC

Dia de Los Muerto is a day to celebrate, remember and prepare special foods
in honor of those who have departed. On this day in Mexico, the streets near the
cemeteries are filled with decorations of papel picado, flowers, candy
calaveras (skeletons and skulls), and parades. It is believed that the spirit of
the dead visits their families on October 31st and leave on November 2nd. The
celebration of this day is to make death more of a welcoming and not so much
something to be afraid of.

altars.
