Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, is a deeply rooted tradition in Mexico that celebrates the lives of deceased loved ones. Observed from October 31 to November 2, this vibrant occasion blends indigenous customs with Catholic influences, creating a unique cultural experience. Families honor the departed by building altars, or ofrendas, adorned with photos, marigolds, candles, and favorite foods of the deceased. The holiday is marked by a sense of remembrance and connection, as people come together in cemeteries and homes to share stories, music, and food, reflecting a profound respect for ancestors and the cyclical nature of life and death.
