Day of the Dead

I LOVE the Mexican holiday Dia de los Meurtos - the pageantry, the sugar skulls, the colours, the traditions... but most of all the intent. 

A day to invite memories - of family members and friends who have died - back into our lives. A day to celebrate those who have died, and to commune with them in order to keep them alive in our daily lives.
