The difference between an adult's death and a child's death concerning Día de Los Muertos is the set of rituals conducted.
Día de Los Muertos (Mexican for the Day of the Dead) is an observance largely celebrated by the Mexican community all over the world. While the celebration spans the first two days of November, the preparation for the festival begins much in advance.
In Mexico, November 1 is usually dedicated to the Saints (Todos Los Santos) and November 2 to the Faithful Dead (Los Fieles Difuntos). However, popular tradition dedicates November 1 to the souls of children and the next day to adults. On both days, incense and candles are lit on altars with pictures of the deceased, and marigolds are strewn to form a path to the home.
It is believed that the souls of dead children return home on the first day. These young souls are offered with an assortment of candy, fruit, hot chocolate and a corn-based drink called atole. The souls of the adults are said to arrive the next day, and they are offered their choicest dishes along with liquor.
