The day of the dead is a special Mexican holiday. It’s a way for children to appreciate life and not be afraid of death. This Mexican tradition has been passed down through many generations. It takes place from October 31st - November 2nd. The fiesta takes place on November 2nd calling the spirits to the graveyard. It takes place at the graveyard in which the family’s loved ones were buried, so they can decorate the Ofrenda, or grave, and celebrate the times they had with that person. This holiday is a celebration of the dead to respect the life they have, and to give them a good time in the afterlife. This holiday is important in the Mexican culture (and other cultures) because it allows the living to accept that their loved ones are dead,
