The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday that is celebrated on November 1st (All Saints Day), and November 2nd (All Souls’ Day). During the holiday ciudads de Mexico are colorfully decorated by local artisans with paper mache skeletons, papel picados, and sugar skulls. Alters of flowers, candles, and food known as ofrendas, are placed on the graves of the departed to guide their souls back to the world of the living. These spirits are not feared but instead venerated and welcomed to this joyous occasion as the guests of honor.
