The Day of the Dead is a special holiday in Mexico when families remember and celebrate their loved ones who have passed away. It happens from October 31 to November 2. People make colorful altars with photos, candles, and favorite foods of those who have died. They also use marigold flowers and decorate with sugar skulls. Families visit cemeteries to clean graves and spend time sharing stories about the people they miss. It's a happy celebration because they believe it helps the spirits return to visit the living and enjoy the things they loved when they were alive.
