Nov. 2 is known as Day of the Dead "DÃa de los Muertos" or Day of the Deceased "DÃa de los Difuntos" where loved ones commemorate the lives of adults who have passed.
This belief stems from the fact that the first monarchs arrive in Mexico for the winter each fall on Nov. 1, which coincides with DÃa de los Muertos. Calaveritas de azucar, or sugar skulls, along with toys, are left on the altars for children who have passed. The skull is used not as morbid symbol but rather as a whimsical reminder of the
Skulls (calavera) Jennifer Nalewicki. Probably one of the most recognizable symbols of DÃa de los Muertos, these skulls are often made of granulated sugar, meringue powder and water.
