Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead although these were also names given to a pagan Aztec festival. The Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico can be traced back to a precolumbian past. Rituals celebrating the deaths of ancestors had been observed by these civilizations perhaps for as long as 2,500-3,000 years.
