Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a Mexican celebration that has origins dating for over 4000 years. Originally an indigenous tradition, it has been linked to the Catholic holidays All Saints Day and All Souls Day. Events for the holiday take place at the end of October and beginning of November in San Antonio.

About the Author

Ingrid Wilgen

I have worked a lot of jobs in my life: biscuit and coleslaw maker, waitress, veterinary assistant, medical maintenance technician and soldier. The list goes on. Very few of them became part of my life like journalism. I eat it. I breath it. I roll in it. Then I write. I tell stories through the lens. The more I do the better I get. Two semesters as photo editor for the Ranger, the San Antonio College paper, gives a strong foundation that my experiences as managing editor for The Mesquite will continue to build on. My goal as a communications-journalism major, at Texas A&M University-San Antonio, is to become a great storyteller. Stories are our history. It is what our progeny build their lives on. My journey is clear, keep learning, keep listening, never stop creating.
