<h1>Spanish Club Marks Día de Muertos</h1>
<p>What began as a small initiative in October 2021, has grown into one of the most visible and important activities of the year for the St. Michael’s College School Spanish Club.</p>
<p>Día de Muertos, or ‘Day of the Dead,’ is a Mexican holiday dedicated to remembering the deceased and welcoming their souls back to the living world for a celebration. Celebrated on November 1 and 2, an altar is traditionally built in honour of departed loved ones, with ‘ofrendas’ (offerings) displayed.</p>
<p>Watch the video below to learn more about the holiday, the significance of our altar, and a special prayer by our Spanish Club students:</p>
