Participants in the Day of the Dead parade take a break inside a shoe store during the annual celebration in Mexico City, Mexico. Dia de los Muertos, rooted in Indigenous Mexican and ancient Aztec influences, honors deceased loved ones with altars, marigolds, candles, sugar skulls, and offerings meant to guide returning spirits. The multiday celebration includes parades, family gatherings, cemetery visits, and rituals that blend remembrance with festive cultural expression. (Photo by Ronen Tivony/NurPhoto)
