Dia de Muertos is a public holiday in Mexico and is also celebrated in regions throughout the world.
It is held annually on October 31, November 1, and November 2. The holiday is a time for family and friends to gather together and pray for and remember those friends and family members who have died. TotesNewsworthy shares that the prayers and rituals are also meant to help support their spiritual journey.
One tradition includes people bringing gifts to the graves of the deceased, such as sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed. Some people also leave the possessions of the dead at their graves.
One should always try to attend the one in Mexico City. This is the grandest of them all. By far, a very surreal experience.
