The Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos or All Souls' Day) is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and by Latin Americans living in the United States and Canada. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. The celebration occurs on November 1st and 2nd in connection with the Catholic holiday of All Saints' Day which occurs on Nov 1st and All Souls' Day which occurs on Nov 2nd. 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 as gifts.

Scholars trace the origins of the modern holiday to indigenous observances dating back thousands of years, and to an Aztec festival dedicated to a goddess called Mictecacihuatl.

  • Day of the dead is a celebration to honor the dead and show your love and respect. Not a cult thing. We would take a grill, beer and food to the cemetery and stay there til nightfall. Others would hire mariachis and bandas to play music for their deceased loved ones. We'd play among the graves. Never found it creepy or weird. Well maybe now I do lol. Id have the cops called if I tried to do that here in the US lol
