\"\"<\/a>About \u201cDay of the Dead\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although its name may sound grim, the D\u00eda de los Muertos holiday has its origins in the Aztec rituals of Mexico and other indigenous tribes of Latin America. An internet search of \u201cD\u00eda de los Muertos\u201d will yield any number of links to websites explaining and promoting the holiday. But the primary elements of this celebration indicate that the special nature of the occasion is to honor one\u2019s ancestors and commemorate beloved ones who have passed. For the Aztecs and others with similar beliefs, honoring and calling upon the ancestors was integrated with harvest festivities, and gathering family to remember past family and friends with fondness and happy memories.<\/p>\n
