Day of the Dead
Tagged: children, Day of the Dead, latin america, Mexico, population“The ritual is part of the Day of the Dead celebration, an important holiday today and tomorrow in Mexico and other Latin American countries. It is a tradition that was started by native tribes and is based on their belief that death is part of life and shouldn’t be feared.
Many families in the United States keep the tradition going. In some southern states with a large Mexican American population, the Day of the Dead is celebrated in churches, museums and in schools, where children learn to make sugar skulls and papel picado, a popular Mexican art. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are more than 40 million Hispanic people in the United States, and more than half of them come from Mexico.”
