Saint Joseph Cemetery Association will sponsor the first ever Dia de los Muertos Celebration on Saturday, November 2nd from 3-5 pm at the Fort Davis cemetery. There will be decorating of the ancestor graves, sweet treats, decorations and music by JR Harrell. Blessing of the graves will occur at 5 pm by the Catholic Priest.
Many families have not celebrated this traditional Mexican holiday since they were children. The Board of St. Joseph Cemetery Association is pleased to offer a reminder of this wonderful holiday with its unique customs and traditions.
The purpose of this delightful holiday is to honor deceased ancestors, inviting them back to earth , and mocking death with frivolity and good humor. It focusses on celebrating the lives of those lost.
If you are interested in local history or culture, or have relatives buried here, please attend.
