Mexico’s Day of the Dead Begins Today!
By Jane Goodwin | October 31, 2007
It might be Halloween everywhere else, but in Mexico, today is the first day of Dia de los Muertos: Day of the Dead.
This is not a scary or morbid day, but rather a day for celebrating the lives of the beloved dead. Graves are cleaned off, flowers are planted, sugar skulls are eaten, and families have large reunions.
In this video, you will see many resemblances to our Halloween, but added to the masks and makeup you will also see and hear music, dancing, costumes, flowers, and many people having a good time.
It’s Dia de los Muertos!
