It is believed that the spirit of the dead visit their families on November 1st and leave on November 2nd.Homes are decorated with beautiful altars known as ofrendas. These alters are traditionally laden with offerings of food and gifts for the weary spirit travellers.The Day of the Dead is truly a celebration of those who have passed. It is not a sad or morbid gathering – more a festive, family-centred celebration of friends and relatives no longer with us.Skulls, or calaveras are a very important symbol of The Day of the Dead. Besides representing death, they are also shown smiling or doing day-to-day activities such as riding a bike or playing a guitar, illustrating that death is not something to be feared,but is simply part of life.
