Connect with your ancestors with The Everywhere home

On the 1st and 2nd day of November, we Mexicans honor and remember our loved ones who have passed away, keeping their memory alive and connecting the living with their ancestors through offerings, altars, and rituals, in a tradition called “Día de Muertos” (Day of the Dead), which is -probably- the most representative tradition of Mexican culture.

Offerings are the primary component of this celebration, known for being colorful, having food, cempasúchil flowers, images, candles, and objects that meant something in the lives of those we miss. All this is infused with symbolism to celebrate life and death as part of a natural cycle instead of being gloomy. The cempasúchil flower is believed to guide the souls of the dead to their altars.

Due to a wide range of artistic and cultural expressions, from literature to cinema in an international context, this celebration has become one of the most important symbols of Mexico’s rich cultural diversity. It is so that UNESCO has recognized it as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Through this tradition, we connect with our past while celebrating life in all its forms. It is not only about honoring the dead but also strengthening our community.
