Dia De Muertos at WLC

At WLC, we help celebrate Dia de Muertos with our own Ofrenda. Created by both Dr. Galván-Mandujano and Professor Luzano. Students are welcome to bring their own photos and help celebrate!

Dia de Muertos is a traditionally mexican holiday celebrated on November 2nd. Going back almost 3000 years, it honors deceased loved ones and ancestors in a joyous, colorful remembrance instead of mourning. Commonly ofrendas are adorned with marigolds, calaveras (sugar skulls), food, and deserts. These offerings are meant to help guide the spirits of those who have past back home.

Some ofrendas made by students in SPAN 3380!
