Is the day of the dead is a Mexican version of Halloween or whether this is a misconception?

  The Day of the Dead  IS NOT the Mexican version of Halloween. Mexicans have celebrated the Day of the Dead since the year 1800 B.C.

Day of the Dead doesn’t honor death, but our dead relatives. We welcome the opportunity to reflect upon our lives, our heritage, our ancestors and the meaning and purpose of our own existence.

Altars or ofrendas are not for worship but for offering our love and remembering our departed family members.

The Day of the Dead is a moment to reflect upon one’s life and the cycle of life and death.
