🌺 Cultural Significance
Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a profound Mexican celebration dating back thousands of years to indigenous Mexica, Aztec, and Mayan traditions. This shirt honors the belief that death is not an ending but a continuation—a time when the veil between worlds grows thin and our ancestors return to celebrate with us. The calaveras (sugar skulls) represent departed souls, while marigolds (cempasúchil) guide spirits home with their vibrant color and scent. Wearing this design is carrying forward a sacred heritage of love, remembrance, and the beautiful acceptance that death is part of life's eternal cycle.
