Día de los Fieles Difuntos (Day of the Dead Celebration)

The day of the faithful departed is not a sad day. It is the day we celebrate the memory of our lost ones. Tradition — we remember them out loud The day of the faithful departed is not a sad day. It is the day we put your photo, your favorite food and a candle on the table, and we tell your stories again so that no one forgets.
