Turquoise Day of Dead Skull Ornament
by Cody Foster

Day of the Dead ornaments are a perfect addition to any Halloween tree, this turquoise Dia de los Muertos ornament is very traditional right down to the decorated skull and flowers in the eyes! Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de Muertos) is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico, in particular the Central and South regions, and by people of Mexican ancestry living in other places, especially the United States. It is acknowledged internationally in many other cultures. The multi-day holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died, and help support their spiritual journey. Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars called ofrendas, honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed, and visiting graves with these as gifts.
