The holiday is sometimes
called Día de los Muertos in Anglophone countries,
a back-translation of
its original name, Día de Muertos. It is particularly celebrated in
Mexico where the day is a public holiday. Prior to Spanish
colonization in the 16th century, the celebration took place at the beginning
of summer. Gradually, it was associated with October 31, November 1 and
November 2 to coincide with the Western Christianity triduum of Allhallowtide: All Saints' Eve, All Saints' Day, and All Souls' Day
