People around the world are celebrating the Day of the Dead, blending pre-Columbian rituals with the Roman Catholic observance of All Saint’s Day on Nov. 1 and All Soul’s Day on Nov. 2.
The holiday, known in Spanish as “ Dia de los Muertos,” is especially popular in Mexico, but is also observed in other countries, including the U.S. and Germany.
