In the works…
| Hanal Pixán is coming! MEL is putting together a Day of the Altar. We will invite members from our community to bring a copy of a photo of a loved one that passed away and place it on the altar as a way to pay tribute to them. It is believed that during Hanal Pixán, the dead come back to be with their loved ones, to eat their favorite foods and to rest from the long journey, and eventually go back to their mythical resting place again. Stay tuned and keep an eye on our website and social media pages to know when the altar will be ready! Use of face masks and social distancing will be required when bringing a photo of your loved one.  |
