Day of the Dead: Home

This lively Mexican celebration helps families honor their ancestors.
Skeletons are scary, right? Not if you're celebrating Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead.

Day of the Dead, holiday in Mexico, also observed to a lesser extent in other areas of Latin America and in the United States, honouring dead loved ones and making peace with the eventuality of death by treating it familiarly, without fear and dread.

The Day of the Dead (el Día de los Muertos), is a Mexican holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion that includes food, drink and celebration.
