The Spanish believe that the Day of the Dead is the opportunity to remember y honor sus deceased loved ones.
When Day of the Dead altars are prepared, familias make food y bring things that the deceased person enjoyed during su vida. These things are then laid out on a “Day of the Dead” altar en una casa de familia. The food is then eaten and more celebrating begins. Personas will go to the graves of sus loved ones and decorate them with brightly colored flores y sugar skulls.
