El Día de los Muertos or, Day of the Dead, is an ancient Mexican holiday that is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd. Even though there are many similarities between El Día de los Muertos and Halloween, this is not the Mexican version of Halloween.
Like Halloween, El Día de los Muertos is a pre-Christian holiday that has been absorbed into the Christian tradition. Originally a pre-Columbian holiday celebrated by Aztecs and other Mexican tribes in honor of the spirits of those who have died, it remains today a holiday honoring the memory of the dead

The Mexican celebration occurs on November 1 (All Saints’ Day) and November 2 (All Souls’ Day).
