Day of the Dead is a Mexican celebration that takes place on November 1st and 2nd, honoring deceased loved ones. With roots in indigenous Mexican culture, the celebration synchronizes with the Catholic dates of All Saints and All Souls. Families create decorated altars (ofrendas) in honor of the dead, with photos, candles, flowers and objects they cherished. Calaveras (skulls) are a common symbol, often depicted in a cheerful way. Parades, parties and public ceremonies take place in the cities, and traditional dishes such as "pan de muerto" (bread of the dead) are shared. It is a joyful and festive celebration, focusing on memory and respect for deceased loved ones, with traditions distinct from those of Halloween.
