Dia de Los Muertos Honors the Dead

Yes. Dia de Los Muertos (“Day of the Dead”) is a Latin American cultural festival celebrated from Halloween through All Souls Day. The spiritual purpose of the festival is to honor and pray for deceased family and friends, which is something the Church urges all Catholics to do. There are festivities associated with the celebration, such as setting out gifts of food and flowers in honor of the dead, but these festivities are intended to support the spiritual purpose of the holiday.
