Skeletons, Skulls and Altars: ‘Day of the Dead’ Festivals Held Nationwide to Remember Deceased, Welcome Spirits ‘Back for a Visit’
By Heather Clark on November 2, 2018
Festivals and other celebrations for “El Dia De Los Muertos”—or “The Day of the Dead”—are currently underway in cities nationwide and around the world. The annual Latin American-Roman Catholic observance is meant to honor the lives of deceased loved ones, but with the belief that the spirits of the departed temporarily find their way back to their families to remember the things they once loved.
“God is calling us to follow Him and to ‘come out from among them (the pagans, heathen and unbelievers) and be separate’ (2 Cor. 6:17),” Mike Gendron of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries in Plano, Texas told Christian News Network.
“As Christians seek to abide in God’s word, they will become like the Psalmist who gained understanding from God’s word and hated every false way (Ps. 119:104). He wrote, ‘How blessed are those who observe His testimonies, who seek Him with all their heart. They also do no unrighteousness; they walk in His ways” (Ps. 119:2-3).”
