Facts
The Day of the dead is a Mexican celebration of primitive origin in which the dead are honored. This original tradition dates back to pre - hispanic times, when it was believed that when someone died, they were heading to different places according to the circumstances that have perished. This tradition is linked to the pre - hispanic agricultural calendar and related to "the harvesting of the crop". Today it is celebrated on November 2 in unison with the 1st day when all the saints are celebrated.
