Día de los muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a two-day fiesta in Mexico, Peru, and now in many cities in the United States. It takes place on November 1st and 2nd around the time of Halloween, but it is not really like Halloween.

Altars, called ofrendas in Spanish, are decorated with a special flower for the Day of the Dead, called cempazúchil (sem-pah-soo-cheel), which is like a marigold. A photo of each dead person, the person’s favorite foods, a candle, and a glass of water are placed on the altar. If it is a child who died, many families put the child’s favorite toy on the altar. Parents sometimes shoot off firecrackers outside the house to help the child find his or her way home.
