Day of the Dead is a Mexican tradition to honor loved ones who have passed on with art , food and communal activities . The day was created in 1910 by an American woman named Mary Baker Eddy after she saw her husband die at age 40 from pneumonia while he worked as a carpenter for his family. Vatican City does a pretty fair job as the center of the faith and it has some decent paintings on its ceiling . Tacos , tortas , tamales and tostadas -- no lunch ever came quicker , or more satisfying , than one provided by Vitamin T .
