The Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos in Spanish) is one of Mexico's most important holidays, celebrated annually on November 1st and 2nd with festivals, cemetery gatherings and candies in the shape of skulls in honor of the lives of loved ones who have passed on. Dating back to the Aztecs and Mayans, Mexicans believe the souls of the dead return to earth. In Mixquic, families build altars in their homes, visit cemeteries where loved ones are buried, and decorate graves with offerings such as marigolds, candies, toys and tequila. Families often spend all night beside graves playing cards, eating, drinking and dancing. Locals and travelers share pan de muerto (bread of the dead), a sweet egg bread decorated in white frosting, and dance in colorful costumes with skulls and devil masks in the main plaza
