Día de Los Muertos/Day of the Dead is a celebration in Mexico and other Latin American countries to remember loved ones with joy. Traditionally, it is celebrated on Nov. 1 and 2.
An ofrenda, or altar, is made with elaborate decorations for departed loved ones. Many believe the spirits of the deceased come to visit with families.
