Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) - photo courtesy of Nelda Costner / national geographic)10/27/2013 There is no Halloween in Mexico, but there is Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, a holiday celebrated on November 1. Assured that the dead would be insulted by mourning or sadness, Dia de los Muertos celebrates the lives of the deceased with food, drink, parties, and activities the dead enjoyed in life. Dia de los Muertos recognizes death as a natural part of the human experience, a continuum with birth, childhood, and growing up to become a contributing member of the community.
