Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a long-honored tradition with roots in indigenous Mexican culture. Día de Muertos is observed annually in Mexican and other Latin American cultures on November 1st & 2nd as a remembrance of those who have passed. Individuals and families who honor this day set up ofrendas (altars) with offerings to their departed loved ones. Typical offerings include marigolds, calaveras, photos of the dead, and traditional food like “pan de muerto.”
