D\u00eda de Los Muertos History \u2013 Where it Started<\/b><\/h4>\n

The origins of D\u00eda de Los Muertos date back to pre-Columbian traditions. The practices of D\u00eda de Los Muertos have been going on for more than 3,000 years. The first celebrations occurred during the summer months. However, in the 16<\/span>th<\/span> century Spanish conquistadors arrived and the holiday was moved to the fall months. The date change was in order to allow the Day of the Dead to coincide with Western Christianity holidays of All Saints Eve, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day. Nowadays, events start in October and it continues through November 2<\/span>nd<\/span>. The official D\u00eda de Los Muertos festivities occur on November 2<\/span>nd<\/span>. On that day, friends and family will go to cemeteries where their loved ones are to celebrate their lives and honor their memories. Some people even stay at the cemetery all night spending time with loved ones in remembrance of the dead.<\/span><\/p>\n
