Ep 14 Day of the Dead

Today Colby and Becky welcome two West Texas women who celebrate the rich traditions of Dia de Los Muertos, a celebration of All Souls day in the Mexican tradition that has become well known and practiced throughout the world.  Death as a common experience of all humanity has the capacity to connect us in a way not many other common experiences do. There are various ways of responding to and embracing this reality. Dia de los Muertos is a rich Mexican tradition rooted in the hope of eternal life.  It is a day set aside to honor the dead and to celebrate the unique and unrepeatable person who has lived and died. It is a tradition that lightens the load of death and expresses joy in the face of morality in a unique way.
