Los Angelitos

Angelitos, Los

October 30For the Mayan Indians living near Cancún in southeastern Mexico, October 30 was a day devoted to children who had died, the angelitos, or "little angels." It was customary for families to put flowers on their doors and to cook up treats for the angelitos who would visit them that night. Los Angelitos marked the beginning of the period during which all the dead were commemorated. Mexicans celebrate the Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, on All Souls' Day, November 2.
