What is the Day of the Dead?

The Day of the Dead, also known as Día de los Muertos, is a vibrant Mexican celebration that takes place on November 1st and 2nd each year. It is a time when families come together to honor and remember their loved ones who have passed away. Far from being a somber occasion, the Day of the Dead is a joyous celebration of life and death.

This lively festival is deeply rooted in ancient Mesoamerican traditions and combines indigenous customs with Catholicism. It is believed that during these days, the spirits of the departed return to Earth to visit their loved ones. Families create altars, or ofrendas, in their homes and cemeteries, adorned with photographs, favorite foods, and mementos of the deceased. These offerings are believed to guide the souls back to the realm of the living and ensure their spiritual journey.
