The meaning
In Mexico, death is not the end
It's just a step. That's why catrinas are so colourful — Mexico laughs at death. In this workshop you'll get to know the Day of the Dead from the inside: the ofrenda with the favourite food of those who have passed, the path of salt, the candles that guide them and the three levels of the altar. It isn't Halloween: it's memory, celebration and family.
