The day of the dead
We are approaching one festival where the Pagan and Catholic ritual calendars coincide, and the question of who borrowed from whom might even be more complex than we realize.
The Arizona Republic offers a guide to altars for the Day of the Dead / Día de los muertos.
I have my own take on putting up photos of the deceased: I like to wait a few years first. Does someone really need their sleeve tugged in the Otherworld right away?
Marigolds, champagne, whiskey, etc.--all fine.
