How is Halloween celebrated in Guatemala?
The Mexican People (or Guatemalan) don't exactly celebrate Halloween. They celebrate something similar, called Dia De Los Muertos. This is a holiday that pays respects to relatives that have passed on. The Mexican build altars with gifts to the dead, believing that on either the day for the young (Nov. 1st) or the day for the elder(Nov. 2nd), based on which one they are, they will come in the form of a monarch butterfly, and take the paid gifts. If the relatives don't find their altar and receive them, they will be very angry and haunt the people responsible. The Mexican lead large parades with large, colorful masks, some carrying coffins of recently died relatives. During the night, in rural places, citizens get together in a cemetery and spruce up graves of friends or relatives. They spend the whole night cleaning up the yard all together, though they make it more into a party rather than a large job to do. Mexicans do all this more in fear that their relatives will be angry rather than to celebrate.
