Hey there! Just returned from New Mexico and while Rich and I there we attended the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebration in Albuquerque, New Mexico. There is strong community support for the event. The Old Town Plaza and surrounding Old Town store fronts were decorated with marigolds; many with personal ofrenda’s featuring photographs and personal items of the deceased. People dressed in costume, there were blessing offerings, the Albuquerque High School Mariachi Band performed, Folklorico Dances by Asociación Nacional de Grupos Folklóricos, Curandero Blessing of Ofrendas by Dr. Mario Del Angel-Guevara, and a candlelight procession around Old Town Plaza Square. The event touched our heart and soul and we shed some happy tears. Event photography by Jolly Sienda Photography and Studio, Bremerton, Washington.
