  1. ALL HALLOWED’S EVE   On Día de los Muertos families visit the cemeteries and gravesites of their loved ones. They clean the sites and leave flowers and candles and, in many countries, they bring entire meals with special drinks and traditional breads to share with the deceased. Displays are set up next to the gravesite that include flowers, hand-crafted skeletons, colorful paper cutouts, candy skulls, personal items, and photos. Family members pass the night sharing food and conversation as they keep vigil for their ancestors.

  2. The celebration of Día de los Muertos spans two days, November 1 and 2. • Also known as Día de los Difuntos, the traditions originate in the centuries-old religious holiday Día de Todos los Santos. • In the Americas, this holiday coincided with pre-Columbian festivals that celebrated the harvest, the new year, and honored the dead. • The mix of cultures and traditions resulted in the celebration Día de los Muertos.

  11. El pan de muertos This bread is made only for Día de los.Muertos. In Ecuador, these breads are called guaguas de pan. Guagua is the Quechua word for “baby” and refers to the bread’s shape. The guaguas are served with colada morada, a warm, purple-colored drink made from blueberries and raspberries.

  12. 1. Does your family or community have a special day or specific traditions to remember the deceased? How are they similar to or different from the traditions of Día de los Muertos?  2. Centuries ago in Europe, the night of October 31, before All Saint’s Day, was known as “All Hallowed’s Eve.” According to ancient beliefs, on this night the dead join the world of the living. Today we call this night Halloween. How would you compare the celebrations of Halloween and Día de los Muertos

  13. Tricks or treats — old style Begging at the door grew from an ancient English custom of knocking at doors to beg for a "soul cake" in return for which the beggars promised to pray for the dead of the household. Soul cakes, a form of shortbread — and sometimes quite fancy, with currants for eyes — became more important for the beggars than prayers for the dead, it is said. Florence Berger invent soul cakes to remind them of eternity at every bite. So she cut a hole in the middle and dropped it in hot fat, and lo — a doughnut. Circle that it is, it suggests the never-ending of eternity. Truth or legend, it serves a good purpose at Halloween. The refrains sung at the door varied from "a soul cake, a soul cake, have mercy on all Christian souls for a soul cake,”
