In México, the belief among the great majority of its' population, is that the dead have divine permission to return to the family home for forty-eight hours (November 1st & 2nd) each year to enjoy the pleasures they knew in life, and it is the duty and responsibility of the surviving family members to welcome their deceased loved ones and ancestors for a brief reunion on their yearly visit. Day of the Dead celebrates a communion between the living and the dead in a colorful festival of ritual and life.
