Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars called `ofrendas`, honoring
the deceased using skulls, and the favorite foods and drinks of their family, and visiting graves
with these as gifts. In addition the people leave possessions of the deceased at the graves.
Rituals celebrating the deaths of ancestors had been observed by these civilizations perhaps for
as long as 2,500–3,000 years ago. Many years ago the festival that became the modern Day of
the Dead was celebrated in the ninth month of the Aztec calendar, in early August, and this
events was for a month. In this holiday had developed to honor dead children and infants on
November 1, and to honor deceased adults on November 2. This event was dedicated to the
goddess known as the “Lady of the Dead”, better known as “La Calavera Catrina”. Also all the
