I am a Spanish 1 student so Im gonna write in Spanish. Dia de los Muertos takes place on Novmeber 1st and 2nd. Marigolds are the flowers that represent the day of the dead. It is Mexico’s most important holiday. It originated in Mexico centuries ago. It is not meant to be sad holiday, it is supposed to be a happy day. They like to decorate graves with flowers and candles. Skulls/skeletons are the symbol of the day of the dead. They make candy skulls with sugar. November 1st is supposed to be for children that has passed. November 2nd is supposed to be for adults. They also like to shoot off fireworks on these days.
