In Mexico we have a very beautiful tradition to celebrate the Día de Muertos, it's on November 2nd. and we remember our loved ones that passed away. In a special place we gather several things with an ancient meaning like, water, sea salt, copal ( a certain kind of incense), flowers, food and beverages our death ones liked, candy skulls with their names and very well dressed skeleton figures, male and female. These ones are famous because a great painter, Jose Guadalupe Posada made several of these figures, the most known is La Catrina, a very elegant female skeleton.
We expect they, our dead ones, come to visit us on that day so we can offer them all the things they used to like when they were here, and we light candles to show them where the place we made for them is.
Although we know death is not real because we are energy and energy cannot be destroyed, we like to remember them in a joyful way.
I hope you enjoy the picture and leave a comment if you want to know more about this tradition.
