Best Answer

Before Spaniards conquered Mexico, there were many rituals concerning death among Aztecs, where it was common to keep skulls as trophies and display them to symbolize death and rebirth. However, the sweet skulls, bringing flowers to loved ones that have passed away, and the "ofrenda" traditions were consolidated while Mexico was a colony of Spain.
