Day of the Dead is celebrated on November 1st in Mexico, Ecuador,Guatemala and other parts of Central and South America. Families gather to pray to dead relatives and ask them to turn for just one night. People decorate their homes and gravesites with food, candle, candy, skulls and flowers to welcome the dead back to earth. People dress up as skeletons and parade through the streets. Pan de los muertos (bread of the dead) is baked in the shape of skulls and crossbones, and a toy is hidden inside each loaf. The person who bites the toy is said to have good luck. Day of the dead sounds like a scary event, but it is a happy time to celebrate and remember the lives of dead family members.
