Dia De Los Muertos 2016

I want to show SCIV some traditions I wasn't raised with, like Dia De Los Muertos. Now that I know a little bit more about the holiday, I'm going to start observing it yearly. Asking my California cousins questions about the procedure so I didn't mess up the altar helped a lot. Jenni got everything prepared and arranged everything on the altar for us then I came in and tweaked it a tad. To celebrate even more, we joined my cousins at a ceremonial event at a cemetery in Sacramento. I loved the colors, the feel, the heritage, the rawness, and the energy of the people who participated in the native dances. Everything was organic and therapeutic at the same time. Can't wait to go again next year.
