Sunday Service: Dia de Los Muertos
Title: Sunday Service: Dia de Los Muertos
Location: 6 Locke Street
Description: Sunday, November 1, 10:30 a.m. “Dia de Los Muertos” (The Day of the Dead)
An intergenerational service co-led by Thea Shapiro and Sara Hidalgo.
From pre-Columbian times, El Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, has been celebrated in
Mexico on November 1-2. This is a very special ritual, since it is the day when the living remember
their departed relatives. The Day of the Dead is a beautiful ritual in which Mexicans happily and
lovingly remember their loved relatives who have died. Thea and Sara will lead our celebration of
mourning and joy for those who have passed on in our lives. They ask that you bring and share a
favorite food, of the person you will be remembering. In addition, photographs and other
mementos of those you loved who are now gone may be placed on the altar. You may also
remember your Pets.
