Day of the Dead Workshop Explains Traditions and Rituals
On Saturday, Oct. 25, Ana María Pineda, RSM gave a presentation on Day of the Dead as part of a special workshop offered at Santa Teresa Catholic Parish in San Jose. The parish event invited participants to learn more about traditions and rituals that honor loved ones who have passed and the rich tradition of Día de los Muertos, including its symbolic altar of the dead, and how this spiritual practice helps keep the memory of loved ones alive. Participants in attendance from across the Diocese of San José reflected on their own practices of honoring the dead while exploring the values of this Mexican/Latino spiritual tradition. The event was hosted by the Hope & Healing Connection Circle, a pastoral ministry that meets at Santa Teresa Catholic Church as part of their Mental Health Ministries.
