El Dia de los Muertos 2011

 

"Flora and the Cempoalxochitl" - Oil on Canvas - Neda Contreras

 

Dia De Los Muertos (Day of The Dead), a celebrated occasion, during "All Saints Day", (Nov. 1) and "All Souls Day" (Nov. 2),

when family and friends gather to remember, and pray, for departed relatives and friends.

The belief is that the souls of loved ones return to interact with the living.

Small shrines or "Altars", are built in homes, bearing offerings, such as food, beverages, photographs, and the possessions of the departed.
