the Day of the Dead, November 1-2
On November 1-2, the Mexicans celebrate
the Day of the Dead
(more pictures at link) to remember those who
have died and on this day return
to visit. Altars are built on which candles, sweets, flowers (usually marigolds)
and
other presents and offerings to
the dead person are placed. The public altar at the Puerto Vallarta City
Hall
shown in the photo above is dedicated
to Donald Colosio, who was
assassinated while running for President
of Mexico in 1994.
Day of the Dead altar for the local
Puerto Vallarta artist Manuel Lepe at City Hall
on the November 2, 2001 holiday.
He was declared a "National Painter of Mexico"
by President Luis Echeverria in
the 1970s.
The
Day of the Dead tradition
appears rooted in pre-Hispanic beliefs that the spirits of the dead
went neither to a heaven or hell,
but wandered for years before entering Mictlan, the "Land of the Dead".
