The day of the dead is a Mexican celebration. It is believed that at this specific moment, the veil is thinnest between the netherworld and our world – allowing our loved ones who have passed away a moment to visit with us.
Families will typically put up a colorful altar for these souls, adding photos, flowers, toys, candles, and favorite foods and drinks. A special artisan bread, the “pan de muerto” (bread of the dead) is especially baked for the occasion. Celebrations may also happen in cemeteries and streets. The most important thing on the day is to remember and honor those who’ve gone before.
Pan de Muerto
At Fiesta our artisan bakers also make the traditional pan de muerto – proudly keeping this tradition alive for many generations to come.
