Dia de Los Muertos

A well-known Mexican event where Mexicans remember their ancestors and relatives who died. The roots of the Day of the Dead are attributed to the civilizations of Central and South America, especially the civilizations of the Aztecs, the Nahuas, the Mayas, and the Perubchas, where the rituals of celebrating the lives of the ancestors by holding the dead skulls and highlighting them on the Day of the Dead represent the same death and birth , Nearly three thousand years ago. In the pre-Spanish period, these rituals were associated with death and resurrection, and so the celebrations were directed to the children and to the lives of deceased relatives. With the arrival of the Spanish invaders in the fifteenth century, elements of the Christian tradition relating to the Catholic celebrations of the feast of the Saints and all souls were included, leading to their compatibility with the Mexican folk culture.
