It is a celebration in remembrance of those who are gone, a welcoming home for spirits, and thoughts of life and renewal. El Dia de los Muertos is an old tradition probably dating to the Olmecs and coming from a mindset that believes life is a dream and death brings one to full awakening. It is believed that at this time a passage opens between the world of the living and the paradise of the spirits. The spirits pass from the “region of silence and repose” to visit their loved ones.
