    celebrated.
    In Mexico, In pre-Hispanic
    times the cult of dead was
    one of the basic elements of
    the culture, when someone
    died they were buried
    wrapped in a petate and their
    relatives organized a party in
    order to guide them on their
    journey to Mictlán. In the
    same way, they placed food
    that he liked in life, with the
    belief that he could feel
    hungry.

    when it is november
    celebrated.
    The celebration of the Day of
    the Dead takes place on
    November 1 and 2 since it is
    divided into categories:
    According to the Catholic
    calendar, November 1
    corresponds to All Saints, a
    day dedicated to the "little
    dead" or children, and on
    November 2 to the Faithful
    Departed, that is, to adults

    Every year many families


    place offerings and altars
    decorated with cempasúchil
    flowers, chopped paper,
    sugar skulls, dead bread,
    mole or some dish that their
    relatives liked to whom the
    offering is dedicated, and as
    in pre-Hispanic times,

    placed with flowers and food,
    remembering our loved ones
    who have already gone to the

    the dead has can be many
    and varied. Basic items
    include candles, salt,
    incense, sugar skulls, the

    have already left, their
    photographs, on some
    occasions personal objects
    and even elements such as
    cigarettes or some liquor. In
    the case of children, sweets

    What people do. Those people who died

    saints are remembered, as

    for all those souls who have
    not yet received access to
    paradise. During the days
    when the dead are

    can return from the afterlife
    for a few hours to visit their
    relatives and be close to
    them once again.
