Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead is a time to honor loved ones who no longer walk this Earth. Día de los Muertos is a cherished tradition in many countries where we remember and celebrate the lives of those who have passed. Central to the Mexican tradition is the creation of the ofrenda (altar) — adorned with photos, candles, flowers, and meaningful items that honor our departed loved ones.
We invite families and individuals to take part in the ofrenda/altar installations by submitting photos for their departed loved one to be incorporated in one of the of the four ofrendas (altars) on campus:
We are looking for submissions that will help us celebrate and honor all walks of life and expressions in our Denison community. Photos will be placed on the ofrendas/altars beginning Monday, October 21st. We will be hosting a walking tour which will take place on Thursday, October 31st from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM.
