Countdown to Halloween but not necessarily for Latinos

npr.org

Soon as its October its a countdown to Halloween.  Except that Latinos don't really celebrate Halloween. Instead we celebrate EL Dia De Los Muertos which is the next day on November 1st.

On November 1st, we remember our loved ones that passed on.  It always seemed a little 

foreign to me although i was raised here in the U.S., t his concept of Halloween where one talks about ghosts and goblins but not really praying about it.  After all, Halloween isn't "religious" at all.

In contrast, for Latinos, religion is deeply rooted in our culture.  On that note, here are some posts concerning religion.

• Meditate 

• Praying?  Or Speaking in Tongues?

• Ay Virgen!
