According to an ancient Mexican tradition, every year the spirits of the dead come back to visit with their families. This happens on All Saints Day (Nov 1) and on the Day of the Dead (Nov 2). Cemeteries are cleaned and decorated with flowers. Elaborate altars with offerings to the dead are built in the homes to welcome back each family's departed souls. Large feasts of favorite foods are prepared. Special gifts--items of which the dead person was fond or which might be needed for the next life- are also placed at the altar.

This tradition sustains the conviction that life and death are inseparable. Those who embrace this attitude live intensely for the moment because they recognize that there is a final end to life.
