The Day of the Dead observance dates back more than 2,500 years and is linked to the pre-Hispanic era. Each year, celebrants visit ancestral graves to build private altars and decorate graves with ofrendas (“offerings”). Day of the Dead remains an important part of cultural life in today’s Hispanic community.
