El Dia de los Muertos is the Mexican day of the dead. What I need to know is what American holiday and what Catholic holy day it corresponds to. Thanks [:

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is celebrated on the Catholic holy days All Saints Day (November 1) and All Souls Day (November 2).
Some aspects of the Day of the Dead are somewhat non-Christian. One of these is the belief that the souls of children are believed to return first on November 1, with adult spirits following on November 2.
With love in Christ.

Day of the Dead falls on 11/2. It's closest US cousin is All Saint's Day.

It's probably Halloween, which is derived from Old Hallow's Eve...which is the night of the Dead.

There is not any American equivalent. I would say All Saints day is the closest parallel.
