不良研究所 Remembers Loved Ones Through Celebration of D铆a de los Muertos
The 不良研究所 community celebrated Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, on Nov. 1 and 2. The annual celebration is popular amongst Mexican and Latino communities to remember and honor loved ones who have passed away.
The origins of the celebration are rooted within pre-Columbian, Indigenous religions of Mesoamerica and Spanish Catholicism. Although it might be misconceived that the day is intended to celebrate death, it is more accurately intended to celebrate life and the eternal nature of love. “Like the beautiful monarch butterflies that return to Mexico in the fall, we believe the souls of our loved ones live on and commune with us spiritually,” described Dr. Arturo Chávez, Associate Vice President for Mission & Ministry and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
