Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), Mexico
Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a Mexican holiday rooted in Indigenous Mesoamerican beliefs blended with Spanish Catholic traditions. It honors the return of the spirits of deceased loved ones, celebrating their lives rather than mourning their absence. Día de los Muertos is celebrated on November 1–2 with ofrendas (altars), marigold flowers, sugar skulls, pan de muerto, cemetery visits, and symbolic rituals that honor deceased loved ones through food, candles, stories, and ancestral traditions.
