Día de los Muertos acknowledges the symbiotic relationship between life and death.

El día de Los Muertos is celebrated on November 2nd, in which the spirits of the dead are believed to return home and spend time with their relatives. To welcome them, the families build altares in their honor. These altares have a series of different components that vary from one family to another but traditionally include orange Cempasuchils (marigolds), candles, photos of the deceased ones, papel picado or cut tissue-paper designs, as well as the favorite food and beverages of the loved one that has passed.
