Safeco Insurance Festal: Dia De Muertos October 27, 2009

Celebrating life through death and the communion where the spiritual comes close to the world, the Dia de Muertos or "Day of the Dead" festival helps us to remember that nothing is eternal. Indigenous and Spanish roots intertwine in traditional community altars, sugar skulls, sand painting, special foods, candles, processions, music and dance. Renowned artists create artwork reflecting the Mexican cultural links between the living and the dead. This event highlights the life-affirming creativeness of the Mexican people with crafts and a procession to remember lost loved ones.
