Regina Marchi explores how El Día de los Muertos has become more popular in the United States, changing and growing over time. Originally from Mexico, this celebration has expanded beyond its roots, influenced by traditions of remembering loved ones from Latin America and Catholic practices. Now, it's not just a Mexican thing – it has become a celebration of pan-Latino culture and heritage in the United States. This shift shows how the holiday has evolved and embraced a mix of cultural influences, making it more inclusive and widely celebrated. The influences from indigenous Latin American remembrance practices and Catholic traditions have contributed to this transformation.
