Oaxaca's Day of the Dead: A Journey Through Tradition and Culture

Join us as we dive deep into the beautiful world of Oaxaca Mexico's Day of the Dead celebrations, where our guest Ms. Betty shares her personal traditions practiced in her family. We explore the beautiful and intricate process of creating ofrendas and altars, dedicated to their departed loved ones. As the sun sets, we learn about the tradition of spending the night around these ofrendas and altars, sharing stories, anecdotes, and cherished memories of their ancestors. It's a heartwarming night filled with laughter, tears, and a profound sense of connection to their roots and those who came before them. The Day of the Dead in Oaxaca ends with fireworks at noon on the following day. This final act is not a farewell but a joyful celebration of the spirits' visit, bidding them a temporary goodbye until next year's Dia de los Muertos. The colorful fireworks paint the sky as the entire community unites in a collective salute to the departed.
