the Day of the Dead, November 2
On Nov 2, the Mexicans celebrate
the Day of the Dead
(more pics at link) to remember those who
have died and on this day return for a visit.
Altars are constructed on which flowers, sweets,
and other offerings to the
dead are placed. The public altar at the Puerto Vallarta City Hall
shown in the photo above commemorates
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 November 2, 2001. He was declared
a "National Painter of Mexico"
by President Luis Echeverria in
the 1960s.
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".
