Día de Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is a Mexican holiday celebrated on November 1 and 2. It is a time to honor and remember deceased loved ones, but it is also a time to celebrate life and the cycle of being.
This unique and beautiful holiday is full of color, tradition, and family. Families build altars, known as ofrendas, in their homes and at cemeteries. The ofrendas are decorated with photos, candles, food, and other offerings to honor the deceased. Families also visit the graves of their loved ones to clean and decorate them, and to leave gifts.
Food and drinks are an important part of Día de Muertos. Families prepare special dishes like pan de muerto (a sweet bread shaped like a skull), mole, and tamales. They leave their loved ones' favorite foods and drinks on the ofrendas.
Marigolds are another popular symbol of Día de Muertos. Their bright orange color is said to guide the spirits of the dead back to their homes. Skulls and skeletons are also common symbols of Día de Muertos. They represent death, but also rebirth, and the cycle of life. Sugar skulls and esqueleto figurines are often used to decorate ofrendas and graves.
