1. Holiday history of the ๐บ๐๐น Day of the Dead
The roots of the holiday go back to the times of the Aztecs and Mayans, who believed in an afterlife. They believed that death is a transition from the earthly world to another. Based on this assumption, the ๐ป Soul doesnโt die but continues to exist after death. Also, the ancient peoples believed that the souls of the dead, within a month, come to visit their ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ Loved ones.
Interesting fact: Previously, the Aztecs celebrated this holiday in ๐ August and the celebrations lasted a whole month, but with the arrival of the colonialists, the date of the holiday shifted to All Saintsโ Day.

2. Traditions and symbols of the ๐บ๐๐น Day of the Dead
The main attribute of the Day of the Dead is the altar. It is believed that it is a portal from the underworld, through which the souls of the deceased can visit their loved ones in the real world. Each ๐ช Family builds its own altar and erects it at their ๐ Home or a relativeโs ๐ชฆ Grave. It should be decorated with ๐ Orange ๐บ Marigolds, which are believed to attract the souls of the deceased, ๐ Gifts, and treats. Also, there must be ๐ผ Photographs of the deceased, a ๐บ Jug of ๐ง Water, sweet ๐ Bread, paper products, and ๐ฏ Candles inside the altar. These customs are beautifully reflected in the 2017 cartoon โCocoโ.
The main symbols of this holiday are the figurines of Katrina and Calavera, which are the image of ๐ Skulls on various objects, for example, on ๐ช Cookies.
During the days of the celebration ๐ Carnivals, concerts, and various entertainment programs are held. Many people dress up as Katrina, โ ๏ธ Skeletons, and also have skulls on their faces.
