Day of the Dead Mexico City, Mexico
October 31--November 1, 2009
Candy Skeletons
Fun skeletons were everywhere.
El Pan de Muerto--Day of the Dead Bread
An Aztec Ceremony in the Alameda Park honoring their dead--October 31, 2009
antheon Dolores--The Main Cemetary
in Mexico City. Tombs were decorated with marigolds and thousands of people
were present.
Mariachi Bands played music for a price. It was a joyous occasion.
Ofrendas--altars honoring the dead--were in homes, hotels and even on the street.
The city was a beehive of activity in the days leading up to the Day of the Dead--November 1st. This was not a sad time, but a time to remember those who had died and to laugh at death--to tell death that there is life eternal on the other side.
