I'm going to talk about celebrations in Mexico, one of my favorites is the day of the dead, which is actually celebrated over two days November 1 and 2 combines catholic and indigenous rituals to honor the deceased and is a national holiday but my school doesn't give us the day off in most regions of Mexico November 1 is to honor children and infants,whereas deceased adults are honored on November 2. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. The traditions include bulding altars called ofrendas, honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds and food.
Our plans including gathering the goods to be offered to the dead and during the day we clean and decorate the grave
One of my favorite things is
the pan de muerto (bread of the dead) I love eating it with milk. I like the day of the dead because I used to
live in Ciudad Juarez, the people there celebrate Halloween a tradition from
USA not from Mexico but you can get candies for free.
