Day of the Dead Dios de Los Muertos Coloring Books

Typically observed from October 31st– November 2nd, The Day of the Dead is meant to honor the lives of the deceased through colorful displays, delicious food and familial gatherings. The celebration coincides with the 3-part Catholic holiday of All Saint’s Eve, All Saints Day and All Souls Day.  In many parts of Mexico, the holiday season is often signaled by the sight of the monarch butterfly, which migrates to Mexico each autumn. The butterflies are believed to be the spirits of past ancestors returning to celebrate with their loved ones.

Sugar Skulls Coloring Books

During Dios de Los Muertos it is a common practice to decorate gravesites or construct small shrines or altars adorned with pictures and other personal mementos of one’s ancestors. Brightly colored and fragrant marigolds are placed as a means of guiding the souls of the deceased to reunite with their family.

Other common decorations include calacas and calveras (skeletons and skulls) which, unlike what is typically found during Halloween, are not used to invoke fear, but rather to depict the happiness and enjoyment of life. Intricate and ornately crafted sugar skulls are often given as gifts to family or friends.
