Dia de los muertos

As a Mexican American, celebrating Día de los Muertos lets me honor my heritage and loved ones who have passed. This holiday, on November 1st and 2nd, is a joyful remembrance. In Mexico, families build ofrendas (altars) with cempasuchil flowers, candles, and photos to invite spirits back. Sugar skulls, face paint, and foods loved ones loved.
