Description
What is el Día De Los Muertos?
- The "Day of the Dead" is a two-day holiday originating in Mexico during which the spirits of the dead are believed to return home and spend time with their relatives.
- Families often build altars to honor their deceased relatives. These altars have a series of different components that vary from one culture to another that mostly include yellow marigolds, candles, photos of the deceased ones, papel picado or cut tissue-paper designs, as well as food and beverages offerings for the dead.
- It is common to see skulls or calaveras as decorations. These can be made of papier-mâché, clay, wood, metal, cut-out tissue paper, and often, they are made of sugar decorated with colored icing, flowers, or metallic colored foils. (Mexican Museum)
