San Marcos — San Marcos Unitarian Universalists will celebrate El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) at 11 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, at the UCM Wesley Center, 604 N Guadalupe Street in San Marcos.
The UU's will celebrate memories of those who have gone and the continuity of life. Members will contribute flowers —especially marigolds —fruits, sweets, and other decorations for the altar. Some will contribute their voices by reading selections during the service.
Afterwards, members will enjoy a meal together in the UCM. The UU's began celebrating this Mexican tradition several years ago, and members say it has become one of the most popular and moving services.

What a beautiful way to celebrate a great holiday. I'm not surprised Texas is one of the first places to adopt this, but I think I will suggest this to my own NYC congregation.
