Standing next to her, Candelaria<br />

Castillo explained that at their parish,<br />

the small group of Latino parishioners<br />

“build an altar and we bring our family<br />

photos, and we pray the rosary for<br />

the unborn and all the children who<br />

have died.”<br />

The Day of the Dead is much more<br />

than a colorful cultural expression,<br />

said Vega.<br />

“In Mexico, the Day of the Dead is<br />

very spiritual,” he explained. “People<br />

go to the cemeteries, attend Mass.”<br />

Thanks to the recent Disney film<br />

“Coco,” there’s been a broader popular<br />

understanding in the U.S. of the<br />

feast as a celebration, Vega said. Still,<br />

“in the indigenous areas you can see<br />

there is more of a solemnity to it, a<br />

spiritual practice with the rosary, the<br />

candles, and the celebration of Mass.”<br />

Throughout the rest of Latin America,<br />

it is very common to see families<br />

visiting the cemetery year-round<br />
