Dia de los muertos means day of the dead. On november 1st people visit the graves of children that have died and give them food and celebrate. They do the same for adults on november 2nd. Dia de los muertos started 500 years ago when the spanish people came to what is now known as Mexico and saw that the natives were mocking death. Now to celebrate this holiday people make sugar skulls and food to give to the dead. They put these things on an alter or an "ofrenda".
