Day of the dead

Every 1 and 2 of november, in Mexico is celebrated the Day of the Dead, it may sounds bizarre or terrorific, but is too far of being a scary tradition. This days we remember our death family and friends, and we put "ofrendas" with the traditional cut paper, and candles, water, "hojaldras", and flowers like the cempasuchitl or "flor de muerto". We also colocate some food that the person we are honorating liked. Is a bittersweet celebration because you may be sad, and missing your relatives but is a way to connect with them even when they are not physically here, there is the believe that they come this days to visit us. People also pay their respects and place fresh flowers and offerings at the cemetery for relatives during the traditional "Day of the Dead".
