Why is Día de los Muertos Celebrated on November 1st?
Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is celebrated on November 1st to honor the spirits of children who have passed away, known as “angelitos”. It is a time to remember and celebrate their lives with altars, offerings, and special festivities. This date coincides with the Catholic holiday of All Saints' Day, but it incorporates pre-Hispanic traditions and beliefs about death being part of the cycle of life. The following day, November 2nd, is dedicated to adults who have passed away, known as Día de los Fieles Difuntos.
Día de los Muertos is a joyous and colorful holiday where families come together to build altars, decorate with marigolds, and celebrate with food, music, and gifts that honor those who have passed away.
The Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) was first celebrated in its modern form during the 20th century, after indigenous traditions merged with Catholicism brought by Spanish colonizers. However, the holiday has much older roots, as its origins trace back to the ceremonies of Mesoamerican indigenous peoples, such as the Aztecs, Mayans, Purépechas, and Totonacas. These cultures had been holding rituals in honor of death for at least 3,000 years.
The celebration, as observed today, with the established dates of November 1st and 2nd, was solidified in the calendar after the arrival of Catholicism, coinciding with All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day. However, international recognition came when UNESCO declared Día de los Muertos an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008.
So, while its origins are ancient, the modern version and its more recent popularization date back to the 20th century.
