heritage come together beautifully in each Dowdle jigsaw puzzle piece of
this spectacular collection; to be cherished for years.
Make no mistake here; what you’re about to experience is not the
Halloween holiday being exaggerated, overblown, or presented as
over-the-top. This is Day of the Dead, a huge holiday focused on
families celebrating their deceased relatives coming back to visit the
land of the living. Dating back nearly 3,000 years ago, families still
gather together to respect, cry and laugh along with their ancestors.
That’s why instead of skeletons portraying death in a fearful way, they
signify how death is part of life, or another way of looking at it, we
can laugh in the face of death. Day of the Dead is celebrated from
November 1st through the 2nd, with people, skeletons smiling and a few
famous faces filling the streets. So come on down to Mexico City in this
folk art puzzle and party until dawn!
