Spanish Halloween!

In America we may think of Halloween as a holiday that we dress up like our favorite heros, starlets, and monsters for, going around door to door and getting free candy. What most people don't know is that our Halloween  originated in the Celtic festival Samhain and the Christian feast of All Saints' Day or The Day of the Dead. All Saints' Day is a day in which the Spanish culture spends honoring the dead. To honor there past friends and family they decorate the graves, cook their favorite food, and get a flower called marigolds to put around the grave sight. At night on The Day of the Dead all family members and friends gather to eat sing and pray in hopes that their dead loved ones will return to life.
