The Day of the Dead

 In every November 1st and 2nd of the year, around the world, all souls day and all saint's day is celebrated. This is celebrated to remember those people who already passed away, and to those souls who are not yet in peace.

It's Halloween!

 In every Oct. 31 of the year ,Halloween (also a disambiguation of the 'All Hallow's Eve') is celebrated around the world before the All Saint's Day. This celebration is honoring the dead. Of course, everybody knows that, but the thing is:
 Where did it started?

Pre-Christian influences

  Before Christianity, this is already celebrated by the different people such as Roman ( the festival is called Parentalia) , Celtics ( the festival is called Samhain). These people believed that the spirits are closer to the earth and magical things could happen, that's why they usually have bonfires.
