On Monday, November 1 at 12:15 PM in the Crist "Student" Center, the Hispanic-Latino Student Association (HLSA) will hold a "Dia de los Muertos" aka "Day of the Dead" presentation and parade. The parade route, which starts at 12:25 PM, will take us from the Crist Center to the library and back.
The Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos or Día de los Muertos) is a holiday celebrated on the 1st and 2nd of November. It originated and is mostly observed in Mexico but also in other places, especially by people of Mexican heritage elsewhere. Although associated with the Catholic celebrations of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, it has a much less solemn tone and is portrayed as a holiday of joyful celebration rather than mourning.[3] The multi-day holiday involves family and friends gathering to pay respects and to remember friends and family members who have died. These celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants remember funny events and anecdotes about the departed. - Contact:
