Many Native American groups in pre-Conquest Mexico celebrated one day each year when their deceased ancestors would return to visit them: El Día de los Muertos. This ancient tradition has become the state of Oaxaca’s most important celebration.

Parades, home altars, and gaily-decorated graves welcome back the dead. The custom has spread throughout Mexico and even to Los Angeles and Tucson.
