"Dia de los Muertos" presentation at Carr House
Details
Carr House Host Mike Foster will show how the Aztec/Catholic holiday is celebrated in cemeteries across the border in Sonora and further south in Mexico. Feel free to make altars and enjoy typical foods.
Last year's description -- more detailed. Highly recommended by past attendees:
Mike will also illustrate how the Aztec/Catholic holiday is celebrated in cemeteries just across the international border and further south into Mexico. He will explain the history of this holiday and how it has evolved from ancient Aztec ceremonies. Altars will be arranged around the Carr House for people to participate in. Feel free to add to altars or construct your own with photos of loved ones who have passed. People are encouraged to enjoy the food offerings after the informal ceremony. The program room has a maximum capacity of 49 people for safety reasons. If there is an overflow crowd Mike will do a second presentation starting at about 2:45 p.m.
After the presentation we will take an walk on trails near the house.
