Mexican Day of the dead


In Mexico, they celebrate El Dia de Los Muertos or "Day of the Dead". El Dia de Los Muertos starts the evening of October 31 and ends on November 2, which is All Souls Day.

The tradition of the lively event is to celebrate the belief that your deceased relatives come home. In their honor, relatives prepare altars with flowers, the deceased's favorite foods and candles to help guide them home.
