As the nights grow longer and colder and we often find ourselves in a time of reflection on mortality and transition. Our modern Halloween has origins in the Celtic Samhain and the Roman Parentalia. The Mexican Día de los Muertos fuses elements from the Catholic All Soul’s Day and a tradition of honoring the Aztec Mictecacihuatl, the Lady of the Dead. On this Sunday, October 29th, we’ll honor these traditions with fun and seriousness, with frivolity in the first half, followed by a remembrance of those who have passed on in the latter half.
This day allows us to remember our loved ones who have died. You are invited to bring a photo or memento of someone you who is no longer with us to place on our remembrance altar.
UUCO is a welcoming congregation and we invite you to join us this Sunday morning at 10:30 am either in person or via zoom. Unfortunately we are unable to publish the link to the service due to security concerns. Please contact Sandra Moss at [email protected] to have the link sent to you. Please request link before Sunday
