You may already know that “Day of the Dead” is one of the main festivities in Mexico. This celebration takes place mainly on the 1st and 2nd of November, but the festivities actually start on October 31st. During this period, Mexican families go to their family cemeteries to clean the tombs of their loved ones who have moved on to a better life. In some regions of Mexico, they put some flowers, candles, and other decorations on the tombs. Some people take food and a music group (Mariachi) to their family member’s tomb to have a great time with their families. The Mexican culture believes that family members who are here on Earth and those who have passed away can be together on this special day.
