Día de Los Muertos

Día de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a vibrant and colorful Mexican holiday celebrated from October 31 to November 2. This tradition honors deceased loved ones, welcoming their souls back for a brief reunion. Families create altars, or 'ofrendas,' adorned with marigolds, candles, and favorite foods to guide and nourish the spirits. Sugar skulls, intricate paper decorations, and parades filled with music and dance add to the festivity. Día de Los Muertos is more than a memorial; it's a celebration of life, memory, and the enduring bond between the living and the dead.
