"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Dia de los Muertos | Family Activities | Month of the Holy Souls
Día de los Muertos, or "Day of the Dead," is primarily a Mexican tradition of celebrating the Catholic feasts of All Souls Day and All Saints Day. Although the celebration incorporates pre-Columbian indigenous elements, the modern Día de los Muertos is a reverent way to celebrate the Church’s teaching on the Communion of Saints and to pray for the souls of the deceased. Unfortunately, there are some common misconceptions about the celebration that require clarification.
