BELIEFS: The Day of the Dead

People from all over the world have their own traditions of celebrating the All soul's day. But Mexicans celebrate this season in a unique way. They celebrate the  'Day of the Dead' every November.


Families give sugar skulls and skeletons and cook a special ' bread of the dead '. Some, however , believe the dead return to visit their families. Determined to be good hosts these people leave a feast ready for their unearthy visitors.

This tradition can be traced back to the indigenous people whose rituals that celebrate the death of their ancestors have been observed by these civilization for almost 2,500-3000 years.
