Thank you so much for this video! Coco movie got me interested in Mexican culture and since then I have been watching videos on Dia De Los Muertos. Thanks for the wonderful explanation of each element of the altares. Lovely culture that embraces and remembers the deceased.

Thank you so much for this video! It definitely moved me. I'm going to share it with my students because I think it's a great concept and a gorgeous way to connect with our past.
