CUCC's Youth made this Ofrenda in 2018 |
CUCC Youth have been expanding their knowledge of the Mexican tradition of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and specifically, learning about the Mexican memorials called Ofrendas. They have built two Ofrendas in our fellowship hall. One helps us remember our own loved ones, and one remembers those who have died in ICE detention.
All are invited to experience a true Dia de Los Muertos celebration by joining a Latinx festival at 2000 Avondale Dr. in Durham on Saturday, November 2 from 6-8PM. This event is sponsored by Comite Popular Somos, a grassroots immigration justice group. Our Ofrenda to those who have died in ICE detention will be on display alongside many other memorials and Ofrendas.
