Traditionally, los angelitos (deceased children) return to their families from 3pm on Oct 31 until 3pm on Nov 1st. They are remembers and altars are set for them with toys, candies, and treats. Other deceased ancestors are believed to return to their families on Nov 1st. In rural Mexico, traditional vigils are held overnight in the cemetary and at dawn, the participants celebrate a Catholic Mass.
