Make These Traditional Day of the Dead Foods to Kick Off Your Celebrations

 

Mexicos's Day of the Dead or DĂ­a de los Muertos is an ebullient holiday, occurring from November 1 to November 2, that honors the lives of loved ones who have passed.

 

One of the most sacred customs of the holiday is the preparation of altars that serve as a tribute to the deceased. They're decorated with things that the person loved during their life, and food is a crucial component of the altars specifically and of Day of the Dead as a whole.

 

"During this time, people adorn these special altars—known as ofrendas—with cempasúchil (marigold) flowers, burning copal (incense), fresh pan de muerto (bread of the dead), fruits, candles, sugar or chocolate skulls, photographs and mementos of the departed," says Juan Aguirre, Executive Director of the Mexican culture non-profit Mano a Mano. "The food varies depending on the region."
