THE MAYA TRADITION OF THE DAY OF THE DEAD
The Day of the Dead is one of Mexico's most beloved holidays, with days filled with vibrant colors, smells, flavors, and ancient traditions that extend from October 31 to November 2.
The meaning of these days is very profound and encompasses culture, tradition, community, and celebration. The most interesting thing is that on these dates we do not celebrate absence, but rather the living presence that has transcended eternity by joining in the celebration of the souls that no longer inhabit this earth.
