Death in Mexico is not a finality but a continuation of life, celebrated with sweets and colorful offerings during the Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), November 1 and 2.
The souls of muertitos (deceased loved ones) return from their rest, revitalized through a magical ritual mixture of offerings—the scent of flowers and incense, prayers, music, tequila, tears and laughter.
