Symbols of the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos)

Tim Boyle / Getty Images The Day of the Dead is celebrated annually in Mexico on 
November 1st, coinciding with the Catholic observation of All Saint's Day. The 
Day of the Dead is a uniquely Mexican celebration, a festival resembling 
Halloween in many ways, but with more cultural and spiritual meaning. The 
holiday combines elements of Catholicism with ancient Aztec symbolism, and 
honors the spirits of departed ancestors and loved ones who are believed to 
return to earth to join in the celebrations. 
Outlined below are some of the more common emblems of this important cultural 
holiday.
