Happy Day of the Dead!
¡Feliz día de los muertos!

Miss Frances Ann Day, a Latina voice in Literature, wrote accurately about today’s holiday, in which, families across various Latin American countries set up altars, place offerings, and commemorate the deceased:
​
“On October 31, All Hallows Eve, the children make a children's altar to invite the angelitos (spirits of dead children) to come back for a visit. November 1 is All Saints Day, and the adult spirits will come to visit. November 2 is All Souls Day, when families go to the cemetery to decorate the graves and tombs of their relatives. The three-day fiesta is filled with marigolds, the flowers of the dead; muertos (the bread of the dead); sugar skulls; cardboard skeletons; tissue paper decorations; fruit and nuts; incense, and other traditional foods and decorations.”

–Frances Ann Day, Latina and Latino Voices in Literature
