About Today: The Day of the Dead Approaches

About.com


Though Halloween may grab most of the holiday headlines this month, Dia de los Muertos is a major Mexican cultural event with a history dating back to Aztec times. Like Halloween, it's also a bit spooky.

What is Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead)?
Mexico's Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), celebrated from October 31 - November 2, is a time for friends and family to remember and honor their deceased love ones, in part by visiting them at the cemetery. If you think it sounds overly morbid, however, think again. This holiday is both vibrant and festive.

Where to Celebrate Day of the Dead
Day of the Dead festivities are held in cities around the world, but Mexico is, obviously, the place to experience the most authentic celebrations.

How to Make Day of the Dead Sugar Skulls
Sugar skulls are an important dish for the food side of Day of the Dead--our Guide to Mexican Food has a step-by-step tutorial on making perfect ones.

Fun Day of the Dead Crafts Projects
From paper skulls and origami paper flowers to bead earrings and suger skull necklaces, we have enough arts and crafts projects to keep you busy for a decade of Day of the Dead holidays.
