The Meaning of Día de los Muertos

Celebrated primarily in Mexico and now recognized worldwide, Día de los Muertos spans November 1st and 2nd. This holiday, rooted in ancient Aztec and Spanish traditions, is dedicated to remembering the dead joyfully and spiritually.

These altars guide spirits back to the living world, a symbolic reminder of the enduring love between the living and the departed.
