We tour Miskick and the Zocalo Square as this film examines the Day of the Dead as an important part of the Mexican history and their celebration of lost family members and friends. It is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, in conjunction with the Catholic Holy Days of All Saint’s Day and All Souls Day. The day of the dead is an important celebration in Mexican history, and has roots dating back thousands of years to an Aztec Festival dedicated to a goddess called Mictecacihuatl. It is celebrated by building private alters, dressing up, and offering treats, usually sugar skulls, to those that have been lost.
