Yes. It’s a day of prayer & remembrance for friends & families who have passed away. U actually had lunch recently in a new mexican restaurant in sydney australia. There were a couple of related painting on the walls there.

The Day of the Dead, Dia de los Muertos, is November 2, All Souls’ Day. The observance has “spread out” as it becomes more important to hold celebrations on a weekend, but the origins of “Hallowe’en” vs. “Dia de Los Muertos” observances are unrelated.
