Description:

Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) is a multi-day event that is celebrated in many locations, including Puerto Rico. It is a joyful celebration of life for those who have passed.  It is a tradition once lost that is now coming back which includes live music, family, community, and specific foods.

Tè de jengibre (ginger tea) is a family tradition for Malenis Holloway Nazario (Chemistry) – it is served with other funeral foods like hot chocolate, Maria cookies, Cameo cookies, Florecitas, Queso de Bola (edam cheese), pan sobao with butter and other goodies.

Join us as we celebrate Dia de los Muertos as they do in Puerto Rico. If you can, please bring a photograph of a loved one who is no longer with us in order to participate fully.
