Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos in English is the day of the dead. It occurs usually in the beginning of November and possibly later October. This holiday has absolutely nothing to do with Halloween even though the skeletons and spirits idea is similar yet the reason for these two holidays are completely different. This holiday occurs mostly in Mexico but some neighboring countries celebrate Dia de los Muertos as well. Dia de los Muertos could have been celebrated as early as 3,000 years before the Spanish arrived in the new world.
