	The holiday is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd and dates back to the Aztecs. The purpose of the celebration is to honor and remember the dead and to celebrate the "circle of life". The native peoples believe that death is not to be feared but simply an end to mortal life. Families typically prepare the favorite foods of the deceased family members. Additionally traditional celebration foods are prepared like tamales and pan del dia del los muertos, and atole. Whatever recipes you choose just have fun with the preparation and keep in mind the celebration of those no longer with you.
