By @RozcoTV  Mexican Easter Eggs: A Burst of Confetti and Childhood Memories
Various cultures around the world engage in unique traditions and celebrations to mark this holiday. In Mexico, one of the most cherished customs involves the tradition of Easter eggs filled with confetti. These vibrant and festive eggs not only add color to the holiday but also bring joy and laughter to children and adults alike. So today, I'll be telling you a bit about it. The tradition of filling Easter eggs with confetti, known as "cascarones" in Spanish, has deep roots in Mexican culture. While the exact origin of cascarones is uncertain, it is believed to have originated in Europe and was brought to Mexico by Spanish settlers during the colonial period. Over time, the tradition evolved and became intertwined with Mexican Easter celebrations. 🌟 Dive into Nostalgia: Unveiling the Archives of Our Old Blog! 🕰️

A Lilliputian party of skeletal characters dance on a shelf for Día de los Muertos and little metal charms called “Milagros” or “miracles” cover many of the pieces.

Gran Centenario is pleased to share its newest Angel on Earth, Dina Leor. Dina is the founder of Mexican folk art store @lasirena_nyc, which just celebrated its 22nd year in the East Village of Manhattan. On a daily basis, Dina works with artisans in Oaxaca and Chiapas to bring her passions of folk art and Mexican tradition to the U.S. Although La Sirena temporarily closed its doors in 2020 due to COVID-19, Dina pledged to give back to her community. Dina continued to maintain sales outdoors during the pandemic and selflessly provided her profits to local families and Mexican artisans in need. Dina looks forward to continuing to help her local community and to bringing folk traditions and the spirit of Mexico to New York in the coming year.  By Marisel Salazar / Thrillist
