This ritual known as Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is celebrated in mexico and in other parts of the world but with a different name i guess. The said celebration is more commonly known as the All Souls Day.
The indigenous people already had a long tradition of honoring their ancestors and deceased loved ones with processions and festivals involving flowers, fruits and incense. Some say that the Spaniards found these rituals to be mocking death, and that they tried their best to eliminate the practices. Nowadays, we realize that the Day of the Dead is a day to honor the dead. Today, in homes, churches, cemeteries, and public places, altars with offerings to the dead, invite beloved souls to visit the living.
But in Mexico, although the ritual has since been merged with Catholic theology, it still maintains the basic principles of the Aztec ritual, such as the use of skulls. The skulls were used to symbolize death and rebirth, also to honor the dead, whom the Aztecs and other Meso-American civilizations believed came back to visit during the month-long ritual.
