A grand parade was held in Mexico City to celebrate the Day of the Dead, attended by approximately 1.5 million people. City authorities reported that spectators watched colorful parades and costumed participants march through the capital's streets. This year marked the ninth edition of the parade, featuring around 8,000 performers in costumes and people in cardboard skeleton costumes. This parade is a modern tradition that began in 2016, inspired by a scene from the film 'Spectre'. Meanwhile, visiting graves is an ancient tradition. On this day, families visit cemeteries, eat, drink, and sing at the graves of their loved ones, and also place candles and food on the graves and in home altars. According to popular beliefs, the souls of deceased children return to earth on November 1st to visit their families, while the souls of deceased adults return on November 2nd.
