Dia de los Muertos
Dia de los Muertos, meaning day of the dead, is celebrated all throughout Mexico and recently has been spreading across the globe. It celebrates and honors those who have passed by sharing their memories and stories with family, putting up an ofrenda, or offering table, and getting together with family to celebrate your loved one’s life. Graves and ofrendas are decorated with marigolds, calaveras(sugar skulls), and gifts from family that range from food and alcohol for adults, to toys for young children and collars for pets.
