Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is celebrated November 1 and 2, mostly in Mexico. Contrary to some beliefs, it is in no way associated with Halloween. Families gather to remember loved ones who have passed away. There are traditional foods eaten, parades, and sharing epitaphs of a lighter, more humorous nature. The day is more for celebration than for mourning.
