I didnt know this aspect of Dia de los Muertos - In the Mexican culture, November 1st. is “el Dia de los innnocentes,” (Day of the Children) a day reserved to remember children and infants. Special altars are erected as an offering of enticement to the visiting angelitos, (souls of the deceased children) for their time here. Coincidentally, in the United States, we know this time of year to be when the Monarch butterflies migrate south for the winter. Where they go is to Mexico. They are accumulating right now in massive groups, huddling together, and resting their tired wings after their epic three-thousand mile journey from The North into their new warmer climate. Mexicans traditionally view the return of the butterflies this one time every year as the souls of the deceased children returning to earth to comfort their grieving families. read more at the link. themanifeststation.net/2014/10/28/seasons-of-beautiful-change-reflecting-on-the-death-of-my-daughter/
