Día de los Muertos is celebrated on two days: Nov. 1 is in remembrance of the young and Nov. 2 is for adults. While Christianity and Catholicism preach there's only a heaven and hell, there are multiple places spirits can go once they leave the living world, it just depends on how the person died, and how old they were when they died. Infants, for example, are seen as becoming guardian angels once they leave the living world. One of the most unique aspects of Día de los Muertos is the ambiguity of how it evolved to what it is today. In 1910, satirical cartoonist José Guadalupe Posada created La Calavera Catrina, the elegant skull, which has become one of the most iconic symbols of the holiday, with people dressing up with skull faces painted on themselves. Aztecs would make shrines honoring the deceased, which have also evolved into the ofrendas seen today. Swipe to learn how the holiday is celebrated.
