Have you seen the movie Coco?

If so, do you remember the song, Remember Me?

It goes, Remember Me, though I have to say goodbye.

Remember me, don't let it make you cry.

For even if I'm far away, I hold you in my heart.

I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart.

It's the song that made the singer Ernesto Dela Cruz famous, even though he did get smashed

by a giant bell.

That's what we all want.

We all want to be remembered by our family and friends.

The movie Coco is about a holiday in Mexico called Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead.

It's all about remembering the ancestors and loved ones that have passed on before us.

This holiday has a celebration that shows death is not the end of our relationships, that

our loved ones continue to be part of our lives as we remember them.

The beginning of Dia de los Muertos goes way back to the Aztec people, who lived in

what is now Central Mexico hundreds of years ago.

The Aztec didn't consider death the end of existence, instead they saw it as the next

stage in life.

At the time, they used skulls to honor their own dead relatives thousands of years before

modern celebrations began.

By the 1500s, Europeans had discovered the Americas and the Spanish explorers found

the Aztec.
