The Day of the Dead is a celebration in Mexico, a day set to remeber and honor those of who have passed. The people celebrated the lives of their loved ones. This is a colorful festival that goes back to culture of the Aztecs! Families took picnics to cemetaries, decorated grave with flowers and sprinkled holy water around! They always have a very meaningful festival with many festivities!
