Dia de los Muertos: The Road to Mictlan

Blog, Uncategorized 0 Minutes

This short documentary is interesting, and has taught me some things about the Day of the Dead that I didn’t know.  For instance, did you know that the Day of the Dead is actually celebrated over two days? November 1st, All Saints Day, is for departed children, while November 2nd, All Souls Day, is for departed adults.  Give it a watch.

Eileen Maksym studied philosophy at Yale and theology at Boston College, and now uses both to write science fiction. Currently she is an academic nomad, following her astrophysicist husband around the world, two kids in tow. When not writing or kid wrangling, Eileen is a hopeless fangirl. She can be found on Twitter (@eileenmaksym) squeeing over her favorite shows, most of which involve famous detectives, dashing time travelers, and creatures that are never, ever referred to as zombies.
