    The day of the Dead

    The celebration of the Day of the Dead has a pre-Hispanic origin, with the cult by
    Mesoamerican cultures towards the god Mictlantecuhtli, the god of death, owner
    and lord of the dead and of the underworld, they offered offerings to that god as
    sacrifices, too. They had the habit of putting altars with corn, water, pulquee,
    cocoa, etc. After the Spanish conquest in Mesomarcan lands this would change,
    now he worshiped God and celebrated the day of all the saints who had died in the
    name of Christ. Shortly after the church included in the calendar the celebration of
    the faithful deceased one day after the feast of all saints, this, with the purpose of
    remembering those who died from some pandemic such as the plague, eh from
    there that Currently the day of the dead is celebrated on November 1 and 2, just on
    these dates the constmbre of putting an altar with candles or tapers was resumed,
    so the relatives could pray for the soul of the deceased, with this a traditional
    custom became the visit the cemeteries during this time and today.

    How we Mexicans

    are also parties of day of the dead sometimes with costumes or simply family
    gatherings to commemorate this day.
