The spirits are greeted with offerings of special foods and things that they enjoyed when they were alive. Halloween & Dia de los Muertos are both based in the idea that the spirits return at that time of year. ]]> 2016-11-06 19:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/smotl6637/oy8wz05guj5e/wish/135628039 smotl6637 https://padlet.com/smotl6637/oy8wz05guj5e/wish/135630215 In rural areas, celebrations are mostly solemn whereas in bigger cities they are sometimes irreverent. It is said that the spirits of babies and children who have died (called angelitos, "little angels") arrive on October 31st at midnight, spend an entire day with their families and then leave.
Why were the dead buried close to their homes, in a tomb underneath the central patio of the house? ]]> 2016-11-06 20:06:39 UTC https://padlet.com/smotl6637/oy8wz05guj5e/wish/135630215 smotl6637 https://padlet.com/smotl6637/oy8wz05guj5e/wish/135631628 2016-11-06 20:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/smotl6637/oy8wz05guj5e/wish/135631628 smotl6637 https://padlet.com/smotl6637/oy8wz05guj5e/wish/135631697 Mexicans and Hispanics celebrate Dia de Los Muertos. ]]> 2016-11-06 20:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/smotl6637/oy8wz05guj5e/wish/135631697 smotl6637 https://padlet.com/smotl6637/oy8wz05guj5e/wish/135631785 2016-11-06 20:24:48 UTC https://padlet.com/smotl6637/oy8wz05guj5e/wish/135631785 smotl6637 https://padlet.com/smotl6637/oy8wz05guj5e/wish/135634038 Dia de los Muertos is also known as Day of the Dead for Mexicans to honor their loved ones who have died. ]]> 2016-11-06 20:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/smotl6637/oy8wz05guj5e/wish/135634038 smotl6637 https://padlet.com/smotl6637/oy8wz05guj5e/wish/135635863 2016-11-06 21:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/smotl6637/oy8wz05guj5e/wish/135635863 smotl6637 https://padlet.com/smotl6637/oy8wz05guj5e/wish/135636033 It is celebrated October 31st and November 2nd. On the 1st people celebrate the lives of lost children .
