Los Dias de Los Muertos, 2012
Today and tomorrow are the Days of the Dead. The time when the spirits can cross back over into our world. We celebrate the lives of the ones we have loved and lost over the years by sharing food, stories, laughter and tears with our family and friends.
Here is a photo of the Alter de Muertos, the Altar of the dead, at our home this year.
And, a Haiku for the occasion:

Just beautiful and your Haiku is spot on!
ReplyDeleteA bittersweet occasion - and surely a healing one.
ReplyDeleteRecuerdo bien mi amigo.
Honoring and remembering those who we have lost in this healing way. So good for all the Souls involved.
ReplyDeleteLove and peace to you and yours, Man.
Looks like a wonderful altar, full of great stories and memories. I have never hadthis type of celebration! Hope it was/is well!
ReplyDeleteI'm always amazed at the colourfulness. I don't think I should be, huh?!
ReplyDeleteI do hope the doings were filled with great sharing and lots of love.
In Europe, we have a similar day of honouring the death but it isn't as colourful or 'big' - we are a introvert people I guess. However, it's a good thing to remember our loved ones and honour them. They won't be forgotten.
ReplyDeleteMy heart... to your heart... much peace and love to you and your sweet family.
ReplyDeleteI applaude you for making such a wonderful altar, 'cuz I know it was a busy time!!!
