The Day of the Dead is a cultural celebration centered around the remembrance of deceased ancestors. It is celebrated in mostly Latin American countries like Ecuador, Guatemala, Bolivia, Spain, and the Philippines, among others. However, it is most widely celebrated in Mexico. The origin of Dia de Muertos is debated, but it is believed to have originated as a mix of Mesoamerican traditions honoring the dead and European Christian festivities like Allhallowtide or All Saints Day. Death in Mexico is viewed as a sweet event, not the end. Death is just a step, a happy transition. Day of the Dead is a celebration of life.
