Subject: Re: dia de los muertos



There is an important difference between el dia de los muertos and el dia

de los inocentes.



In Mexico, like in Spain, we celebrate el dia de los inocentes on the 28 of

december. It is actually our "april fools day" a day in which many attempts

are made to fool happy innocents who fall for tricks and jokes.



El dia de los muertos is all souls day.
