The 2nd<\/sup> November is a special day in the Mexican calendar \u2013 Day of the Dead. A public holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and those of Mexican heritage. It is a day of celebration, focusing on family and friends who remember those close ones who have died and on their next spiritual journey. Assured that the dead would be insulted by mourning or sadness, Dia de los Muertos<\/em> celebrates lives of the deceased with the food, drink and activities the dead enjoyed in life.<\/p>\n
