Day of the Dead altars honor loved ones
By Elda Silva - Express-News
Artist Luis Valderas has made an altar in honor of his father for Día de los Muertos each year for the past six.

The troubling news is that Halloween is rapidly gaining popularity in Mexico, just as Santa Claus has contaminated
the Christmas season there. I spent El Dia de Los Muertos and de Todos Santos in Mexico and was appalled by kids
in costumes asking for candy or money, and all of the camera-wielding foreign tourists prowling cemeteries like
stalkers. White bread is replacing tortillas, Coke has slaughtered all of the wonderful home made aguas, huaraches
are relics of the past and fast food is spreading obesity and diabetes. If this is progress, I've had my share. It's sad
when pizza out sells pozole south of the border.

It would be helpful if more information concerning the history of this holiday be available earlier in October. Although I know it personally it is such an interesting event I think more people would enjoy this cultural event if publicity were given earlier in October. November slides in and it is upon us in a hurry. Thanks.
