Day of the Dead

Forest Hills cemetery is having a day of the dead celebration next Sunday(November 2nd) from 4:30 to 6.

Join us for a traditional Mexican celebration of remembrance co-sponsored by Latin American folkloric performance group La Pinata. Based on the ancient traditions of Mexico's indigenous peoples who believed that the souls of the dead return each year to visit their families, the Day of the Dead celebrates the continuous cycle of life and death, embracing cultures from all throughout the Americas. Enjoy a program of music and dance as individuals bring offerings of photos, flowers, mementos, and traditional skull-shaped sugar candies to place on a decorated candle-lit altar for those departed loved ones.

We're planning on going so let us know if you want to hook up.
