Day of the Dead: Origins, Meaning & Traditions:
What is the Day of the Dead really about, and how did this extraordinary Mexican tradition become one of the most recognisable celebrations in the world?
Join Mexican cultural promoter Ale Bravo, founder of The Navel of the Moon, for an engaging introduction to the history, meaning and symbolism behind the Day of the Dead.
Uncover the stories behind one of Mexico’s most beloved celebrations. Explore its origins, meaning and some of the traditions that make this celebration so unique.
Did you know that the Day of the Dead is recognised by UNESCO as 'Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity', which refers to 'living expressions, traditions, knowledge, and skills that communities recognize as part of their cultural identity and pass down from generation to generation'?
This and more during Barrow's DAY of the DEAD Celebrations!
