Dia de los Muertos

Mexicans celebrate the day of the dead. The article “Day of the Dead Facts" is about a holiday that people celebrate for their loved ones who have passed away. This occurs on November 1st and 2nd in cemeteries and houses, mostly in Mexico and cities where many Mexican-Americans live. The people involved are family members of the ones who died. The events include making altars containing: food and drink that the person liked, clothes they wore, and symbols of the hobbies they enjoyed. This happens because they may be haunted if they don't and to remember their dead family members. As a result of this, many people are beginning to celebrate Dia de los Muertos in many other places.
