Halloween vs day of the dead





Day of the Dead vs Halloween


Day of the Dead is a Mexican traditional holiday that honors ancestors, family members, and friends who have passed away.

The holiday takes place on November 2nd, in connection with the Catholic holiday of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.

Day of the Dead falls closely to Halloween, but is celebrated on a larger scale—Mexicans embrace it as a festive occasion.

Though both of these holidays have combined with Catholicism, they are very different. Celebrations of Halloween come from the idea that the dead are to be feared; children wear costumes as protection and jack-o-lanterns are supposed to ward off evil spirits.

By contrast, in Day of the Dead celebrations, the spirits of departed loved ones are welcomed into the home and cemeteries. Death is portrayed as something natural and normal.
