El Día de los Muertos, the annual fiesta of the Day of the Dead in Mexico, is an important cultural tradition in South America. November 1 st, All Saints' Day (children), and November 2nd, All Souls' Day( Adults), are the most important holidays of the year in Mexico, especially in rural areas. It is a joyful time of remembrance, reunion, and feasting, as families gather together to honour their loved ones who have died. El Día de los Muertos is not sombre, morbid, or macabre. EL DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS THE DAY OF THE DEAD

In Mexican culture there is a philosophical acceptance of death as an integral part of the cycle of life. During El Día de los Muertos, people believe that the souls of the dead return to earth for one day of the year - the spirits of los angelitos (children) on All Saint's Day and the spirits of adults on All Soul's Day.
