Day of the Dead

Here are some pictures (not mine) that were taken last night in Chapala. Note that the ground is covered in flower petals, which are formed into various designs.

The Day of the Dead (El Día de los Muertos or All Souls' Day) is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and by Latin Americans living in the United States and Canada. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died.
