The date of the Day of the Dead, celebrated on November 1 and 2, aligns with the Catholic observances of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day. This connection was largely solidified during the Spanish colonization of Mexico in the 16th century, when Catholicism was introduced and indigenous practices were adapted to fit Christian traditions. The blending of these celebrations allowed the indigenous peoples to honor their ancestors while also conforming to the new religious framework imposed by the Spanish.
