Day of the Dead(public use photo) Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) is a time of remembrance. With Halloween, we associate cemeteries or skulls with horror, The Day of the Dead takes many of the same images, making it a celebration of life, which is a more positive way of remembering fallen friends and family. Day of the Dead ushers in the return of the deceased to the world of the living and the dead are warmly welcomed back.

Day of the Dead, or el Día de los Muertos, is a Mexican holiday celebrated annually between October 31 and November 2 to honor departed family members with joy-filled celebrations, not sorrow. Although it is celebrated around the same time as Halloween, the two are not to be confused.

Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a Mexican holiday where families can reunite with the souls of relatives that have passed away. According to History.com, the holiday is celebrated each year from October 31st to November 2nd. The Catholic faith adopted November 1st and 2nd as All Saints Day and All Souls Day, respectively. The story goes that, "the gates of heaven are opened at midnight on October 31st for the spirits of children to rejoin their families for 24 hours while spirits of adults can do the same on November 2nd." Dia de los Muertos is meant to be a fun reunion, so in the spirit of gathering with those you love, these L.A. restaurants are serving some special ofrendas.

Dia de los Muertos (or Day of the Dead) is a very important Mexican Holiday that is sort of like their version of Halloween. It is celebrated to remember and celebrate the lives of the loved ones that have been lost. If you've ever seen the movie "Coco", then you already have a great idea what this is all about!

Vintage Halloween(public use) In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1st as All-Saints Day. As with the timing of many ‘Christian’ holidays, November 1st was already celebrated by the Celts, who lived mostly in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom and northern France, as their New Year. Additionally, in eleventh century, the Pope made November 2nd All Souls’ Day, a day to honor the dead.

A new Day of the Dead restaurant is opening soon.ActionVance/Unsplash. A few months back the small restaurant Chez Gregory in downtown Phoenix’s Roosevelt Row closed up shop. While the small space had a strong following, it wasn’t enough to keep the restaurant above water, and, ultimately, it resulted in the eventual closure. However, the space has remained attractive to possible new restaurants, thanks to its house-like design (it was a former residential property at one time), and the outdoor patio area. For locals and for those who frequently visit the art district, the wait for a new restaurant to move in will be coming to an end soon.
