Mixtec indigenous people take part in the Day of the Dead celebrations at a cemetery in Xalpatláhuac, Guerrero, Mexico, 2 November 2021. Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos), a religious holiday combining the death veneration rituals of Pre-Hispanic cultures with the Catholic practice, is widely celebrated throughout all of Mexico. Based on the belief that the souls of the departed may come back to this world on that day, people gather together while either praying or joyfully eating, drinking, and playing music, to remember friends or family members who have died and to support their souls on the spiritual journey.
