Preparations for Celebrating the Day of the Dead

Before getting into what people do on the Day of the Dead itself, let’s take a look at some preparations that often take place before this day. You see, most families make sure to clean up their loved one’s grave before Día de los Muertos. This helps to keep their grave looking fresh and clean for their loved one’s soul to rest upon when they return from heaven for that one special night.

Some families also get together to make tamales or sugar skulls on the Day of the Dead. These are meant to be left out on an altar or table where their loved one’s soul can find them when they come back from

While celebrating the day of the dead is a very important tradition in Mexico, it is not as well known in America. The day of the dead, or Dia De Los Muertos, is a time to celebrate loved ones who have passed away. Though many only see this as a sad day, it is actually a happy celebration.

Many do not know that Halloween and the Day of the Dead actually have many similarities. Like Halloween, Dia de los muertos involves dressing up in costumes and going door to door asking for candy. Unlike Halloween though, instead of just trick-or-treating for candy, kids go door to door asking for gifts called “calaveritas”. Calaveritas are small sugar skulls which can also be given out by adults to children. Another way people celebrate the Day of the Dead is by going to viewings at graveyards and placing flowers on loved ones graves.

October 31st is not just Halloween, it’s also the Day of the Dead. While Halloween is celebrated with costumes and candy, the Day of the Dead is something different. It’s a day for remembering and honoring ancestors that have passed on.

How is this done? In Mexico, people build an altar in their homes and decorate it with photos of deceased loved ones. Offerings are placed on the altar such as flowers, candles, sugar skulls, favorite foods and drinks. It is believed that these offerings will be consumed by the dead who visit their families on this day.

On November 1st, children celebrate Día de los Inocentes (Children’s Day), where toys are left for dead children. On November 2nd adults are honored with great feasts where friends and family gather together to remember their loved ones.

The Day of the Dead is a Latin American holiday that celebrates those who have passed away. Many people in the U.S. might associate the holiday with sugar skulls and colorful decorations, but it goes much deeper than that. People celebrate in many different ways and each family has their own tradition to honor their loved ones.

Many people spend the entire month of October preparing for the day. They clean their homes and prepare altars with food and drinks that their lost loved ones enjoyed during their lives. Artistic types often spend months working on decorations and costumes to wear while celebrating. Many families also choose to dress up as skeletons or visit local costume shops to purchase a costume like this Scooby Doo costume I found at Party City for my little brother to wear during the celebration.

The Day of the Dead is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and around the world in other cultures. It is a day to celebrate and honor loved ones who have passed away. The celebration begins on October 31 and lasts until November 2nd. The dates are associated with All Saints Day (November 1) and All Souls Day (November 2). The holiday includes elaborately decorated altars, parties, parades, face painting and more.

The history of the holiday has origins in pre-Columbian indigenous rituals honoring their ancestors. These traditions were combined with All Saints Day when the Spanish conquered Mexico in the 1500s. The rituals were later influenced by Christianity during this time as well.

The holiday emphasizes family gatherings and celebrations for those who have died and have moved on to the afterlife. It is a time to remember the loved ones that have passed away by gathering together to share memories, stories and food they loved while they lived here on Earth.

The Day of the Dead is typically celebrated in Mexico on November 1 and 2. Families create butterfly images as a symbol of the departed souls of loved ones. The butterfly images are used to decorate graves, altars and more.

The Day of the Dead is a holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. The celebration takes place on November 1st, in connection with the Catholic holiday called All Saints’ Day, and is sometimes called All Souls’ Day. People go to cemeteries to be with the souls of the departed and build private altars containing the favorite foods and beverages, as well as photos and memorabilia, of the departed.

The intent is to encourage visits by the souls, so that the souls will hear the prayers and eat the food offered at their altar (ofrenda). Celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants remember funny events or funny stories about the departed.*

I was trying to find a scooby doo costume for my dog, but I couldn’t find one that would fit her. So I decided to make one myself. This way it’s sure to fit and it will be unique!

The first thing to do is measure your pet. You want to make sure the costume will fit them well and not look too small or too big. You can use an old t-shirt or piece of fabric to measure their length and width. Then add some inches for seam allowance and room for them to move around in the costume.

Now that you have all your measurements, you can start putting together your costume. Take a piece of paper and sketch out what you want it to look like. It’s best if you use a pencil so you can erase any mistakes before cutting into the fabric. Now cut out your pattern pieces from fabric using scissors or a rotary cutter with ruler/mat if possible (this makes life much easier).
