During Día de los Muertos in Mexico, traditions such as creating altares (altars) to honor deceased loved ones are revisited. Families gather to celebrate the lives of those who have passed away, often including offerings of food, flowers, and personal mementos. The use of calaveras (sugar skulls) brings a vibrant and colorful aesthetic to the festivities. This blend of mourning and celebration underscores the Mexican belief in the cyclical nature of life and death.
