The Day Of The Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family & friends to pray for and remember those who have passed away. In Mexico it is a national holiday and all banks are closed. It takes place on November 1st & 2nd in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints Day and All Souls Day. Traditions associated with the holiday include the building of private altars to honour the deceased. This will include the use of sugar skulls, marigolds and the favourite food & drink of the deceased. These items will be placed on graves as gifts.
The Day of the Dead holiday has since been traced back to similar practices dating back to Aztec times, particularly the Aztec festival dedicated to their goddess Mictecacihuati. In Brazil, Dia de Finados is a public holiday on which Brazilians visit cemeteries and churches.
