Day of the Dead is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd in many European and Latin American countries. The Mexicans celebrate this holiday the most. This day of observance honors their deceased loved ones. They believe heaven’s gates are opened at midnight on October 31st and the spirits of all deceased children are allowed to reunite with their families for 24 hours. On November 2nd the adults come down to the festivities that were made for them. Altars are made in the homes of the living and are made up of candles, buckets of flowers, bounds of fruit, peanuts, plates of turkey mole, stacks of tortillas, and pan de muerto (Day of the Dead bread). Little folk art skeletons and sugar skulls are the final touch to the altars.
