Symbolic Saturdays – El Dia de los Muertos

Miranda the Celebrant | Hampshire Ceremonies

El Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) is a national holiday celebrated in Mexico every 1st and 2nd November to honour deceased loved ones who are guided home to enjoy offerings left for them on meticulously crafted altars. This is a highly symbolic festival and one of the most colourful in the world.

And let me tell you – you haven’t partied until you’ve partied in Mexico!
