Mexico and other Latin American cultures of Mesoamerica, including communities in the United States, observe the Day of the Dead Festival, or Dia de los Muertos, that occurs every year on November 1st and 2nd .
Day of the Dead is an ancient rite to honor deceased relatives, rooted in Aztec culture thousands of years before the arrival of Christian Spaniards in the New World. After that time, like many rituals, the festival merged with Catholic observances.
Day of the Dead Festival Activities
People make an altar in their homes on which they place candles, flowers, food, and photos of their deceased loved ones. They visit their dead relatives’ gravesites in cemeteries. They leave a trail of marigolds between the cemetery and the house so the loved ones can find their way home to the party and back to their graves when Dia de los Muertos ends.
