Show respect for those gone before

It’s a time to celebrate and honor those who have passed on — the South Broadway Cultural Center is helping to celebrate.

The SBCC, 1025 Broadway SE, is hosting the Dia de los Muertos Art Exhibition beginning at 9  a.m.-5  p.m. Thursday, Nov. 1. Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) revolves around the tradition of remembrance or honoring lost loved ones. This tradition originated in Mexico was and is practiced among indigenous peoples. With the arrival of the Spanish, the tradition blossomed to include Christian ideals in respect to the use of saints and other Christian objects.

The exhibit will run through Nov. 17, and admission is free.
