Tag: Day of the Dead
Central to the celebration of El día de los muertos is pan de muerto, or bread of the dead—a sweet, butter-rich bread perfumed with cinnamon or aniseed, orange blossom or vanilla, covered in sesame seeds or colored sugar.
Many Mexican Americans return home for the holiday, but in Sunset Park observants can make their ofrenda at home or contribute to altars built at community centers and churches.
