Mexican Dia de Los Muertos Celebration
The Día de los Muertos, literally “the day of the dead”, is a significant holiday in Mexico, celebrated between November 1st and 2nd.
It is a joyful celebration of life and a tribute to deceased family members, who are believed to temporarily return to the world of the living to reunite with loved ones.
Although it coincides with All Saints’ Day, it has completely different origins and opposite meaning.
The Día de los Muertos has its roots in the ancient beliefs of pre-Columbian indigenous civilizations, such as the Aztecs, Maya and Purépecha.
It is a transition to another dimension of existence: the world of the dead, of spirits.
Made famous by the Disney animated film “Coco”, this celebration is a unique and meaningful tradition.
