Altar de Muertos (death Altar)

Altar de Muertos

Altar de Muertos (death Altar)

On days 1 and 2 of november in Mexico is the festivities of "Dia de Muertos", day of the dead people.

Is a way of honor the people that have died.

Depending on what part of Mexico you are, is how it is celebrated.

One common thing is the set up of altars or offerings, dedicated to someone, where offereings are put. Lie food that the dead person used to like. Or other things about her.

One things that is very used is the orange flower, Cempaxóchitl.

One of many "altares" that I saw while I was on Mexico City.
