Unit: Important Days and Dates

One of my favorite celebrations is Halloween. 

Halloween is celebrated all over the world, but specially I love how is celebrated in Mexico on the “Day of the Dead”. This Mexical festival is on the last days of October, and the families come together to remember their lost relatives. The families build altars and decorate it with candles, pumpkins, pictures and sometimes food. 

People say that a portal opens, and the spirits of their beloved ones comes to earth. Is a day of remember, but also a day of celebration; there’s music like mariachi bands, singing, storytelling, and the streets decorated. 

What I love of Halloween is the chance of wear different costumes and dress however you want, but the tradition in Mexico is wear colorful clothes and paint your face like a skull. I think is really beautiful.
