The Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos or All Souls' Day) is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and by Latin Americans living in the United States and Canada.  CNN Chile reports (translated) "While developing the Halloween celebrations in the United States in the cultural melting pot of Latin America this time is a celebration all its own."

"In days of offerings and thanks to our loved ones in Mexico has developed one of the most striking artistic representations."

Continuing, with video, "Every year during the holiday known as Day of the Dead, believers remember their loved ones and offer their art."  The video tells the story of how to "live the day" and to celebrate.
