Day of the Dead started as a Native American Holiday. When the Conquistadors took over Mexico in the 16th century, they added their own beliefs into it, making it into the holiday it is today.
briefly and basically, 'dias de los muertos' was a pagan celebration of an ancient people, which since the conquest and through other periods has experienced a series of "layering."
The choice of words, specifically "layering" refers to how over time the traditions have changed or adapted their meanings to the needs of the society that it serves. A perfect example is how after the conquest the period of celebration changes to coincide with a christian holiday. The Aztecs were pagan, no christian. However, the christians enjoyed the tradition enough not to do away with it but to give it a christian meaning. Today, especially in border states, it wouldn't be difficult to find thatmexican-Americans confuse the two completely separate holidays: holloween and dia de muertos.
