Dia de Muertos Coloring Page

Día De Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a Mexican holiday celebrated on November 1 and 2 each year. It honors deceased family members and loved ones with the belief that their spirits return to visit. This ancient tradition blends indigenous Aztec customs with Catholic influences brought by Spanish colonizers, creating a unique celebration of life and remembrance.

Marigolds, called cempasúchil in Spanish, are the official flowers of Día De Muertos. Their bright yellow and orange colors and strong fragrance are believed to guide spirits back to the living world. Families place these beautiful flowers on altars and grave sites as an essential part of the celebration.

An ofrenda is a special altar created to honor deceased loved ones during Día De Muertos. It typically includes marigolds, candles, photographs, favorite foods, drinks, and decorative skulls. Families arrange these items with care to welcome their loved ones' spirits and celebrate their memory and the joy they brought to life.
