Should we celebrate peoples birthdays after they are dead

I think we should celebrate peoples birthday because when someone in your family passed away you should remember them and when it is there birthday you should remember them by thinking that they have come back and playing with them sharing food with them i am going to argue about if you don't think you celebrate peoples birthday when they are dead. In Mexico they have a big celebration called the Day of the dead and in that celebration some people believe that the people who have died there spirits come down and they have a party. They have a big party to celebrate that persons life. People celebrate outside and they dress up like ghosts and skeletons it sounds scary but it isn't scary at all. They dance and sing all kinds of songs.

Our Faith Assembly

In our faith assembly we will be looking at how people arounde the world celebrate poeples lives afgter they are dead. Mr Lea has asked me to reserach this byn looking at Japan and Mexico and how people celebrate peoples lives after they are dea.
Her is some of the information I have founs out.

The Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos in Spanish) is a holiday celebrated mainly in Latin America and by Latinos (and others) living in the United States and Canada. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.Every year, on November 1st (All Saints Day) and 2nd (All Souls Day), something unique takes place in many areas of Mexico: Day of the Dead festivities. While it's strange for most of us to accept the fact that "death" and "festivities" can go hand-in-hand, for most Mexicans, the two are intricately entwined. This all stems from the ancient indigenous peoples of Mexico (Purepecha, Nahua, Totonac and Otomí) who believed that the souls of the dead return each year to visit with their living relatives - to eat, drink and be merry. Just like they did when they were living.
