Day Of The Dead art by patrushka
The Day of the Dead is a festive holiday celebrated in Mexico and other parts of the world during November 1st & 2nd. Even though this coincides with the Catholic holiday called All Soul’s & All Saint’s Day, the indigenous people have combined this with their own ancient beliefs of honoring their deceased loved ones.
