The homily was delivered on Sunday, November 1, 2015, at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, by Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar, Senior Minister.
HOMILY DESCRIPTION
The Mexican tradition translated as "The Day of the Dead" has spread around the world as a colorful and meaningful way to remember and give thanks to people we love who have died. The Catholic churches in Mexico have placed the tradition on All Souls Day – November 1. With this tradition falling on a Sunday this year, we have decided to create a service inspired by All Souls Day and Dia de los Muertos. You are invited and highly encouraged to bring a photograph or small token of remembrance of a departed loved one to place on the decorative alter (ofrenda in Spanish) that will be in the front of the sanctuary and Emerson Hall this Sunday. Infused with music, stories, and dancing from Mexico, it will be a service you will not want to miss. Come honor a loved one this Sunday with joy and celebration as we find meaning and gratitude in the memories of those we love and who have gone before us.
