What Is Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead?

The Day of the Dead is celebrated on Nov. 1 and 2. The holiday is sometimes confused with Halloween because it falls during the same time of year and because of the symbolic skulls, but the two are not related at all.

Family members can prepare for several weeks in advance of the tradition by creating altars, decorating burial sites, and cooking specific food for the event.

Cempasúchil or Marigolds — Marigolds are used during the celebration by being placed on altars and burial sites. The marigold flower is thought to guide the spirits back with its intense color and pungent smell.
