Holy Tradition
The day of All the Dead is a very special occasion in Pomuch, a rural town in the state of Campeche. At this time people go to the cemetery, where they remove the skeletal remains of their relatives from the crypts, to clean them, pray to them, tell them what happened during the year and ask them for good fortune for next year.
