Mexican Tradition

.

Día de  Muertos is an important Mexican holiday  for catholics. It is celebrated in November 1st and 2nd.  The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.


Specifics of the celebration vary with region, but something in common is that these days people  build private altars with many things called ofrendas, honoring the deceased. Some ''ofrendas'' are  sugar skulls, marigolds,  the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and they also leave possessions of the deceased.
