They were around long before the Spice Girls.

14. No, Dia de los Muertos is tomorrow
In Episcopal Churches they usually celebrate the following Sunday as All Saints' Sunday, and it is practically required to have the Ralph Vaughan-Williams setting of "For All the Saints" as the processional hymn, as well as the reading "Let us now praise famous men" from the book of Ecclesiasticus. Then there are commemorations of parish members who have died during the previous year.
