Monarch Butterflies
Making
Pan de los Muertos
with the Moreño
Family
By
Elizabeth Howard
The Moreño family shares their mountain home with the monarchs. You can see the El Rosario sanctuary on the mountain beyond their house. One November, Dr. Bill Calvert and I visited as the family was preparing for the Días de Los Muertos. Señora Moreño was baking special loaves of bread called "pan de los muertos" (bread of the dead) in her wood oven. We hope you’ll enjoy your visit!

the bread baking? |
Can
you tell which loaves are men and which are women? |
