Que Pasa? Looking for event information, from anywhere they celebrate the dead I searched on Google for Day of the Dead images and found this one I took three years ago here in La Paz, Mexico.
Cultural heritage going back a long time in the Americas! A festival celebrating the lives of those who have passed away. A mix of nostalgia and happiness, with altars offering treats for the souls of the dead, as a life celebration. Pictures of and objects belonging to the dead, pan de muertos (bread of the dead), marigold flowers, skulls made from sugar and painted, favorite foods and candles are loaded onto the altars at gravesites.
