Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.

Scholars trace the origins back hundreds of years and to an Aztec festival dedicated to the goddess Mictecacihuatl. The holiday has spread throughout the world.

The most popular Day of the Dead icons are skulls and skeletons. Day of the Dead skulls and skeletons are whimsical and colorful, rather than frightening or macabre. They symbolize mortality and the cycle of life and death.

At our Craft & Chat club this month, we made Day of the Dead skulls with papier mache and decoupage. Here are photos of two of the skulls created. Meet Ethyl and Fleur!
