Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos. Day of the Dead. A day where we remember our loved ones who have gone off to live a life beyond the dead. 
Here at NDNU we celebrated this holiday with special mass and small reception after. Usually mass went on as usual, except for after the homily when we were called up. Each person was given a candle to lit and place on one of the 2 special altars made. I found this special by the way they included the congregation. Another thing special about the mass was that there was a Mariachi band included to help with the songs sung. I thought it gave it a nice touch and made it more special because the went out of its way for this to happen.

After mass there was a small reception that included some Mexican delicacies like sweet bread, Mexican hot chocolate, and salsa. My favorite was dipping the sweet bread into the hot chocolate. It tasted so good that I went back for seconds. It was just the right amount of sweetness. It was like dipping a cookie into warm milk.
