Day of the Dead, or "Día de los Muertos," derives its name from the Spanish celebration that honors deceased loved ones. The term reflects the blend of indigenous Aztec traditions and Catholic influences, particularly the juxtaposition of the Catholic observance of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day. This festival, celebrated primarily in Mexico and among Mexican communities worldwide, emphasizes remembrance and celebration of life rather than mourning, allowing families to honor their ancestors with altars and offerings.
