Day of the Dead

People are gathering around a grave during the Day of the Dead festivities in the magical town of Mixquic, in México City. During this celebration the families of those that were buried in this holy place come during the day and stay up until very late at night to remember they beloved ones. They make an "ofrenda" (offering) with the favorite food of their dead relative and put ornaments around the grave to make it beautiful.
