Originally an indigenous ritual that merged with Catholic Theology, to make the ritual more Christian, the Spaniards moved it to coincide with All Saints\u2019 Day and All Souls Day (October 31st through November 2nd), which is when it is celebrated today. Today, Day of the Dead is celebrated in Mexico and in certain parts of the United States and Central America, and those celebrations differ depending on where you are. In Mexico, people visit the cemetery where their loved ones are buried. They decorate gravesites with marigold flowers and candles. They sit on picnic blankets next to gravesites and eat the favorite foods of their loved ones. People spend the day in the cemetery decorating graves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join the Libraries&#8217; Diversity Committee in remembering and honoring lost loved ones with our interactive altar.
