Lately, I seem to be emerging myself in this fascinating aspect of the Mexican culture. It is truly a beautiful event/holiday that can by traced back perhaps 3,000 years ago. The holiday is celebrate on November 1 and 2nd in honor of deceased loved ones. Family and friends will build alters, gather around loved ones grave sites and offer the deceased delicious foods and trinkets.
The most represented symbol, from what I gather ,is The Lady of the Dead/goddess or the modern Catrina. She is said to be keeper of the bones.
In honor of this holiday I have created mask and sugar skulls. Check them out.

And I'm sending out a prayer for our deceased loved ones and for the ones who have lost.
