Everyone who lives will someday die; this is a hard truth that we come to understand over time. Every culture in the world has its own customs for coming to terms with the natural cycle of life and death. In Mexico, one of the most important holidays is the Day of the Dead. The Day of the Dead usually takes place on November 1st and 2nd and is widely observed in Mexico, where the tradition largely originated and developed.
每个活著的人终有一天会死去;这是一个我们随著时间逐渐理解的残酷事实。世界上每种文化都有其独特的习俗来逐渐接受生死的自然循环。在墨西哥,最重要的节日之一是亡灵节。亡灵节通常在十一月一日和二日举行,并于墨西哥(这项传统的发源和发展地)广泛庆祝。
