Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a Mexican holiday that occurs on November 1st and 2nd. It got its start from the indigenous Aztec's way of celebrating and worshipping their goddess of the underworld Mictecacihuatl.

In some ways, it could be compared to the Catholic holidays All Souls' Day and All Saint's Day as both Mexican and Catholic holidays are on the same days in November and families gather to pay tribute to their deceased.
