Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)
is a holiday celebrated mainly in Mexico and by people
of Mexican heritage living in the United States and Canada. The holiday
coincides with the Catholic holidays of All Saints Day (Nov. 1) and All Souls’
Day (Nov. 2), and focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and
remember friends and relatives who have passed away. Traditions include
building private altars honoring the deceased, using sugar skulls, marigolds,
and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed, and visiting graves
with these items as gifts. The day is a celebration of the life of those we
love, and a commitment to never forget.
