Dia De Muertos Altars I Worked on Today

This afternoon, we celebrated as a family and said our prayers and told stories about our deceased loved ones.  Setting up the altar took longer than the prayer because the kids have a short attention span, but it was fun to work on setting up with my son, Antonio.

This morning, I helped out with the H.W.C. Pride Alliance altar, honoring the victims of the Orlando night club massacre.  As Dia de Muertos should be a celebration of life, I told students today that massacres like these should never, ever happen.

Now, we are off to Mass to celebrate All Soul's Day.  I am actually pretty tuckered out and hope to get my third wind.  Must be the tequila I had with my Uncle Toño (metaphorically, of course).
