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.
每個活著的人終有一天會死去；這是一個我們隨著時間逐漸理解的殘酷事實。世界上每種文化都有其獨特的習俗來逐漸接受生死的自然循環。在墨西哥，最重要的節日之一是亡靈節。亡靈節通常在十一月一日和二日舉行，並於墨西哥（這項傳統的發源和發展地）廣泛慶祝。
