The document provides information about El Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrated in Mexico and parts of the US. It is celebrated from November 1-2 to remember loved ones who have died. Traditions include building ofrendas (altars) decorated with photos, candles, flowers, calaveras (skeleton figurines), and favorite foods and drinks of the deceased. The ofrendas honor and celebrate the lives of the dead rather than promote sadness.
