Day of the Dead is celebrated in Mexico between October 31st and November 2nd. On this holiday, Mexicans remember and honor their deceased loved ones. It's not a gloomy or morbid occasion, rather it is a festive and colorful holiday celebrating the lives of those who have passed on. Mexicans visit cemeteries, decorate the graves and spend time there, in the presence of their deceased friends and family members.
In mythology several myths about the creation of roses are credited, one of them is that the goddess Aphrodite, while born of the foam of the sea, would have wanted to create something as beautiful as her. From her bosom came a white rose that she would use from that moment as an ornament, one day Dionysus approached her and poured a few drops of her wine into the rose, and since then she acquired her characteristic rosy hue.
