Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a day set aside to honor the memory of loved ones who have passed away.
Every Monday through November 9, information highlighting the traditions and customs behind the holiday, as well as ideas for how to celebrate, will be posted on Facebook @smrecandparks and Instagram @santamaria_recandparks.
