Top Text Title: Top Text: <font size="4"><font color="red"> The Day of the Dead is an ancient holiday that originated from the Aztec celebration of the children and dead. After the Spansih conquest, the Catholic priest moved the holiday to early November during the Christian celebration of All Hallows Eve. Therefore the celebration is a mix between Aztec and Christian celebration. Families construct altars containing religious objects, pictures, and favorite food and drink of the departed family members. This is done inside the homes to welcome the dead back into the house for the holiday. Afterwards the families visit the grave and decorate it with bright flowers. Later a feast is prepared and everyone eats while sharing stories about the loved ones who have passed. The Day of the Dead is an important event in Mexican culture that is celebrated differently throughout the country and even in the United States.</font></font> Links Section Title:
