Día de los Muertos
Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a traditional holiday celebrated on November 1 and 2 in Mexico, parts of Central and South America, and by many among the U.S. Latino community.
It's a day to remember and honor deceased loved ones. Traditional symbols associated with Día de los Muertos include sugar skulls, marigolds, and monarch butterflies.
