Have you ever thought about what it would be like to have a deceased loved one return and you to a holiday celebration ? The idea may scare you to death or at least your hair stand on end , but this is the essential concept behind the Day of the Dead in Mexico , where people celebrate death with joy and humor than mourn it with sorrow . this joyous occasion , family members gather for a reunion in honor of those who have moved on to the afterlife .

Traditionally , deceased children are honored on Nov . 1 , Nov . 2 is the day when departed adults are the main focus . During these 48 hours , the souls of the dead are to return to earth to visit their living family members . Instead of fearing the spirits of those they have lost , Mexicans their arrival and prepare for it . Days or even weeks in advance , they purchase necessary items and foods in local markets . These include marigolds , candles , " the bread of the dead , " and decorated sugar skulls with the names of departed family members on their foreheads . They also tidy and restore the graves and cemeteries where their family members are buried .
On the Day of the Dead , families colorful altars in their homes to welcome returning spirits . On the altars , they place photographs of their deceased loved ones as as beverages and dishes that those family members had a for while alive . After this warm reception for the souls at home , it is usually late in the evening , and families head to the cemetery , they decorate the graves and light one candle for each dead person . Cheerful and merry , they feast and pray dawn with the sacred souls , transforming the normally horrifying graveyard a venue of joy and celebration for the entire night .
Throughout the festival , colorful , cartoon - like representations of the dead can be seen everywhere . These include skeleton and skull cookies , candies , flags , and toys . Many people also up in skeleton costumes , paint their faces to skulls , and participate in performances and street parades . While so , Mexicans aren't mocking death . Instead , they are recognizing it as an part of the natural cycle and rather embrace it than ignore it . By inviting the dead to return and sharing the pleasures of life with them , Mexicans are celebrating the cycle of life .
The Mexican Day of the Dead is an annual national event that brings together living hosts and non - living guests of honor . it will never die away , since it allows people to accept a fact of life that us all . If we cannot escape it , why not celebrate it ?
