Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is celebrated in Mexico and by some in the US on November 2nd. Its origins go back to the native Mexican people. Today the traditions have evolved to include some Christian beliefs as well. The day is used to remember and celebrate the lives of relatives that have died. The Catrina pictured here is a modern Dia de los Muertos symbol.
