Hola!
Picture this: The streets of Mexico adorned with vibrant marigolds, the sweet aroma of mole and chocolate filling the air, and families coming together to honor their ancestors. It's the enchanting time of Día de Muertos, a celebration like no other. Let me take you on a journey into the heart of this beautiful tradition.
From October 31st to November 2nd, the center and south of Mexico come alive with the festivities of Día de Muertos. It's a sacred time when families open their doors to invite their departed loved ones back into the mortal world, creating a space for them to enjoy the earthly pleasures once again.
In Oaxaca, the heart of this captivating celebration, homes are transformed into colorful sanctuaries. At the center of it all lies the ofrenda, a sacred altar adorned with offerings that evoke the senses. Imagine the alluring aromas of traditional mole, rich chocolate, incense, and the smooth notes of Mezcal filling the air. Fruits, flowers, and candles add their own touch of beauty, creating a feast for the eyes and the soul.
As the bells of the church ring, marking the arrival and departure of our departed ones, the energy in the air becomes palpable. Día de Muertos is not a time of sorrow but a celebration of the life we have lived, the love we have received, and the bonds that tie us together as a family.
It's a moment to cherish the memories, both the good and the challenging ones, and to honor the legacy of those who came before us. Through this magical tradition, we find comfort in knowing that our loved ones are always with us, guiding us on our own journey through life.
