DIA DE MUERTOS: DAY OF THE DEAD

Dia de Muertos: Una Tradicion Orgullosamente Mexicana

During my visit to the City of Morelia in Mexico I took part in the celebration of the Day of the Dead. Day of the Dead is celebrated in Mexico between the end of October and at the beginning of November. Mexicans pay visit to cemeteries, decorate the graves and spend time at the graves. The belief behind Day of the Death is that spirits return to the world of the living for one day of the year to be with their families. Day of the Dead is celebrated in different locations throughout Mexico. The spirits are greeted with offerings of special food that they enjoyed when they were alive.
