All
Saints Day or Day of the Dead is when we celebrate our ancestors.
We put decorations like food or candles on their graves in the cemetery.
Every ear they put 4 elements . The
candles represent fire, the licor is water, the cut paper is air, and
the
food is earth. My Grandpa says that it is a long way to heaven, so that
is why
we give fiambre to the dead. The day of the dead is the 1st and 2nd of
November. The first is for children, and the second is for the adults.
That is what you need to know about All Saints Day!
