Los Dias de los Muertos is not a sad time, but instead a time of remembering and rejoicing. • When is it? • It is celebrated every year at the same time as Halloween and the Christian holy days of All Saints Day and All Souls Day (November 1st and 2nd). • Where is it celebrated? • It is celebrated in Mexico, Ecuador, Guatemala, and other areas in Central and South America populated with the Latino ethnic background. The Day of the Dead is also celebrated in areas of the United States, such as California, Texas, and many others, in which the Mexican/American heritage exists.

  3. ALTARS • Altars are constructed for this celebration. A traditional altar includes the four elements of the world, pictures, food, drink, and favorite items of the deceased. • It is believed that the deceased come back for one day to the earth. • These altars are constructed so when those who have died come back, they have some of their favorite items.
