Day of the Dead

Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated on 1–2 November that honours deceased loved ones. Rooted in indigenous Aztec traditions and blended with Spanish Catholic influences, it is a vibrant celebration rather than a day of mourning, featuring colourful altars (ofrendas), marigold flowers, sugar skulls, and community gatherings at cemeteries. It is a UNESCO-recognised cultural heritage.
