       Do you celebrate the Day of the Dead ? I don’t but I pretty know a lot about it.The Day of the Dead is an important holiday to all Mexicans . I’m a Mexican but I don’t really celebrate that. The Day of the Dead is a holiday to honor all people that have died. The Day of the Dead is a mix of Christians and Mexican cultures the day the Dead is usually celebrated on November. This holiday is celebrated on the South of Mexico.

          When it’s the Day of the Dead in  Mexico November 1st is celebrated to all children that have died.They celebrate adults on the second of November . The people that celebrate this go to honor their friends and family that sadly left this world . When  people celebrate this they go to the place where they buried the sibling . At the pant ion is where all the ceremony is. Traditional foods are left at the altars . People also put pan Dulce or sweet bread named el pan de los muertos . Also another bread that people put are donuts covered in pink frosting to represent the bones of the dead.

          In the  altars you might want to place the most important thing of the altar. People put pictures of the person that has died in their alters. Also people put rose petals at the altar representing that the person was in love when they died. This included mole, hot chocolate,and candies . Children sit down andhear the person that has died. The last thing that people put at the altars are the four elements. The 4 elements are earth=salt,water,wind=tissue,and fire=candles. The Day of the Dead is a holiday were we honor all the people that have died.
