Many families have ofrendas set up in their loved ones honors and often decorate their graves with petals, pictures, candles and sometimes even food. So as you can see Dia de los Muertos is a big celebration of life and what comes after it. ]]> 2018-11-04 23:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_tays/qgfycr0dh4vl/wish/300270471 mia_tays https://padlet.com/mia_tays/qgfycr0dh4vl/wish/300271206 sugar skulls represent departed souls on Dia de los Muertos.

The ofrenda is a collection of objects placed on a display for your loved one on this traditional holiday. These ofrendas are decorated with candles and pictures and food that are offered to returning spirits. ]]> 2018-11-04 23:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_tays/qgfycr0dh4vl/wish/300271704 mia_tays https://padlet.com/mia_tays/qgfycr0dh4vl/wish/300272365  When I first heard about Dia de los Muertos I thought it was just a slightly different version of Halloween. But now I know that Halloween and Dia de los Muertos are nothing alike. for instance on Halloween you dress up in a costume and go trick-or-treating for candy but on Dia de los Muertos we celebrate a loved one who has died with food Fiesta and  memories. Both holidays are traditional in different cultures but  do not share the same activities.]]> 2018-11-04 23:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_tays/qgfycr0dh4vl/wish/300272365
