For the Mexican culture depending on the locality, November 1st is a day of celebration. “Day of the Dead” or in Spanish, “Día de los Muertos” is a day to honor loved ones who have gone before us. The holiday involves family and friends gathering to pay respect to those no longer with us, by creating altars with their loved ones’ photos.
