Catholics devote themselves to prayer and remembering their dead loved ones, including those who may have been of various faiths or did not observe any religion at all. Costa Ricans commit themselves to prayer and remembering those they have lost, especially those who were of different religions or did not practice any religion at all. Both days are observed with great solemnity and mourning in Costa Rica. However, in certain countries, such as Mexico, this day is celebrated with excitement. In Mexico, the day is celebrated with vibrant and meaningful traditions that honor deceased loved ones. Families create altars in their homes or at grave-sites, decorated with photos, and favorite foods of the departed. Streets and homes are adorned with colorful paper, flowers, and candles.
