For many it is a mystery, for others it is a relief, but as peculiar as it may sound, in Mexico, the day of the dead is a holiday. Although few people may not believe it, celebrating the day of the dead can be an amazing experience.

Every year on November 1st and November 2nd, the relatives of the deceased remember their loved ones with an offering. The offerings consist of placing an altar decorated with flowers, photographs, objects belonging to those who no longer live in this world and even their favorite food and desserts.

This tradition has been passed down from generation to generation and is of Mesoamerica origin, although it is strongly associated with Mexico, due to the fact that Mexico is where the tradition originated from.

  3. My parents also set up an alter for Dia de los muertos for my grandparents. They put a pack of cigarettes for my grandfather and a Coca Cola for my grandmother next to their pictures.
