What is Dia De Los Muertos?
Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) is an ancient Mexican holiday that reunites the living and dead. Families create ofrendas (Offerings) to honor deceased family members. These altars are decorated with flowers, photos of the departed, and the favorite foods and drinks of the one being honored. Day of the Dead celebrates death and life, where mourning is exchanged for celebration.
