From: Mexico is known for its numerous special holidays. But one of its most famous events is the so-called Dia de los Muertos, which means “Day of the Dead” in English. Celebrated in conjunction with All Saints Day and All Souls Day, it’s completely different from other celebrations for the deceased as it’s a very positive and colorful one. Instead of dwelling on the death of family, they’re instead dwelling on the life the deceased person lived. The result is a party-like atmosphere that must be seen to believe. And the trademark of this event is the sugar skull. Delving into sugar skull meaning is actually very simple. Of course, it’s not like the Mexicans just went ahead, created, and decorated skulls made of confectionery just for the heck of it. Of course, there’s a deeper meaning behind the decorative skulls that adorn every tomb and household in Mexico during Dia de los Muertos. As much as possible, these skulls must be homemade. This is because these skulls are made as an offering to their dead loved ones. Because of this, it is not all that uncommon to see sugar skulls on tombs together with the deceased one’s favorite food and/or items.
