Every year, on November 1st and 2nd, something unique takes place in many areas of Mexico:
Día de los Muertos - Day of the Dead festivities. The essence of this beautiful ritual is to lovingly and happily remember deceased relatives, their life, and in this way, give meaning and continuity to human existence.
There are many colorful customs associated with the holiday, including food and decorations.
Ofrendas are set up in many of the houses for the deceased relatives. Generally
ofrendas are set up on a table covered with a tablecloth and
papel picado. They are decorated with sugar skulls, candles,
cempasuchil flowers, and paper mache skeletons. Plates with the favorite foods of their dead relatives are also set on the
ofrenda. Some have also liquor and cigarettes. On the
ofrendas for the deceased children toys are included. Festivities also include traditional foods such as
pan de muerto (bread of the dead), which is often made into the shape of a tiny skeleton.
