Día de Muertos is a traditional Mexican celebration that honors the memory of loved ones who have passed away. Rooted in ancient indigenous beliefs, the holiday blends Aztec customs with Catholic influences. It takes place on November 1st and 2nd, when families create colorful altars called ofrendas to welcome the spirits of the departed back to the world of the living. These altars are adorned with cempasúchil flowers, candles, photos, and favorite foods of the deceased. Rather than a time of mourning, Día de Muertos is a joyful occasion, celebrating life and the enduring connection between the living and the dead.
Mexico has amazing colors, flavors and smells that are mixed with culture and traditions, but there is a place where all these wonders come together, giving life to a unique place called Oaxaca. That’s why the oaxacaXamor project in collaboration with This is Latin America seeks to break borders to show the best of the crafts created and inspired by Oaxaca, where each piece has a story told by its creators.
