People dress to look like scary creatures such as monsters, witches or ghosts. Children go door to door in their neighborhoods to "trick or treat" and collect sweets. But people from Mexico and Central America do things a little differently. For them, October 31st marks the beginning of celebrations for "Dia de Los Muertos", or "Day of the Dead."
Day of the Dead takes place on November 1st. It is connected to the Roman Catholic "All Souls' Day," on November 2nd.
Dia de Los Muertos honors the memory of loved ones who have died. But it also celebrates the continuation of life. The ancient tradition started among the native cultures of Mexico. It has its roots in an Aztec tradition of honoring and remembering the dead.
When the Spanish came to Mexico in the 16th century, they celebrated the Christian holiday of All Souls' Day in which dead loved ones are also honored. Day of the Dead developed into a combination of both traditions.许多美国人会在10月31日庆祝万圣节。人们装扮成怪兽、女巫或者幽灵等恐怖生物。孩子们在小区里挨家挨户地玩“不给糖就捣蛋”来收集糖果。但是墨西哥和中美洲的人们会做一些不同的事情。对他们来说，10月31日标志着开始庆祝亡灵节。
亡灵节定在11月1日，与11月2日的罗马天主教万灵节相连。
亡灵节是为了缅怀已逝的所爱之人，但同时也庆祝生命的延续。这个古老的传统起源于墨西哥的本土文化。它根源于阿兹特克人哀悼和缅怀亡者的传统。
16世纪西班牙人来到墨西哥时，他们庆祝同样纪念已故亲人的基督教节日万灵节。亡灵节演变成为这两种传统的结合体。
