Día de Muertos A Beautiful Mexican Tradition To Celebrate The Lives Of The Departed Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a traditional Mexican holiday observed on November 2 that reunites the living and dead. A rare holiday for celebrating death and life, Día de Muertos is unlike any other remembrance of the deceased; where mourning death is exchanged for celebrating life. Families create ofrendas (Offerings) to honor their beloved family members that have passed. These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, candles, incense, pan de muerto, photos of the departed, and the favorite food and drinks of the one being honored. The offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead as the departed souls hear their prayers, smell their foods and join in the celebrations!

Rest in peace Jon.
