  In many parts of Latin America, as well as the Philippines, people have been marking the Day of the Dead festival in honour of deceased relatives.    In the Philippines, millions of Catholics congregate with family members at the gravesides of dead loved ones to celebrate their memory.

Mexicans hold their Day of the Dead on the Catholic festivals of All Saints and All Souls Days on 1 and 2 November.
