What
holiday are Mexicans preparing to celebrate?
When
the monarchs arrive in Mexico, the corn is ready for harvest and the
people are getting ready for Dia de los Muertos (Day
of the Dead). Dia de los Muertos is a traditional holiday
when loved ones who have died are remembered in special ways. This

in this photo reveal traditional ways people in Mexico honor their
loved ones who have died? What special meaning might the flowers,
candles, food, colors, and dress have?
