What is the “Day of the Dead”?
The Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, is a celebration of life. Many Mexican American Catholics observe this tradition on November 1st and 2nd with the liturgical holidays the Feasts of All Saints & All Souls.
During Mass, we pray for the souls of our deceased loved ones. At Day of the Dead gatherings, people come together to celebrate the lives of family and friends who have gone before us.
Listen as Msgr. Arturo J. Bañuelas explains the Catholic connection to Dia de los Muertos, and brings to life the meaning of the ofrendas or altars that people create during this holiday.
Death for us Catholics is not the end of life. Since you pass through death you’re always alive and in constant relationship with us.”
Msgr. Arturo J. Bañuelas
