DAY OF THE DEAD celebration 2021

Día de los Muertos is an ancient, Mexican, and Mexican American religious holiday, with a historically rich tradition that integrates pre-Columbian and Catholic customs. It is often celebrated in Mexico on November 1 and 2 (dates vary by region and may be longer) in connection with the Catholic Holy Days of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.   For many Latin American countries, it is a time to honor and greet the departed as they make their journey back to be with the living each year.
