About the Day of the Dead 2024
This Doodle, illustrated by Mexico-based illustrator Lucia Sarabia, celebrates the Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos! This public holiday, primarily celebrated in Mexican culture, serves as a time of remembrance for those who have passed on. It's a time to joyfully remember and honor deceased loved ones, welcoming their spirits back to the world of the living. Families create elaborate home altars, called ofrendas, adorned with offerings to guide and welcome the spirits of the departed.
