There are many events here in San Antonio marking Dia de los Muertos. It’s a holiday that dates back centuries and is rich with traditions still observed today.<\/p>\n
Ellen Riojas Clark, Ph.D., told us about the indigenous roots of the holiday and how it has evolved over time.<\/p>\n
Dia delos Muertos began with the indigenous peoples of Mexico and was deeply tied to their spiritual beliefs. They viewed life and death as part of a continuous cycle, believing that true life begins after death. When Spanish colonizers arrived, they brought Catholicism, which blended with these existing traditions to form the modern celebration we know today.<\/p>\n
Dia delos Muertos is more than just a remembrance, it’s a vibrant celebration of those we’ve lost and a way to connect with ancestors we may never have known.<\/p>\n
From altars and marigolds to music and food, the holiday is a powerful reminder that love and memory transcend time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are many events here in San Antonio marking Dia de los Muertos.
