The famous Mexican celebration held on November 2nd is Día de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. This vibrant holiday honors deceased loved ones, blending indigenous traditions with Catholic influences. Families create altars (ofrendas) adorned with photographs, mementos, and favorite foods of the departed. Marigolds, sugar skulls, and colorful papel picado are common symbols associated with the celebration. While it is a time of remembrance and mourning, Día de los Muertos is also a joyous occasion, celebrating the lives of those who have passed away and affirming the bond between the living and the dead.
