Day of the D**d Delight: 'El Día de los Muertos'!
El Día de los Muertos - Day of the D**d - in Mexico, from October 31 to November 2, is a vibrant celebration where families welcome back departed spirits. Rooted in Mesoamerican and Spanish traditions, this unique blend involves feasting and joyous reunions. Spirits of children are said to return on November 1, and adults on November 2. The tradition, with 3,000-year-old roots, reflects Aztec beliefs in a challenging afterlife journey.
