what is the day of the dead called in spanish

The Day of the Dead is called in Spanish "Día de Muertos" or "Día de los Muertos." Both expressions are used, with "Día de Muertos" being considered by some as the more authentic term in Mexico, while "Día de los Muertos" is also widespread, especially in English-speaking contexts. This holiday is traditionally celebrated on November 1 and 2, and it honors deceased loved ones by remembering their lives and celebrating their spirits with offerings, altars (called ofrendas), flowers, favorite foods, and festivities.
