    My wife and I have done the exact same trip for Dia de Los Muertos from Mexico City to Morelia and the surrounding towns. We also did the overnight tour to many of the towns. What a fantastic trip and very memorable. You captured the atmosphere very well. Thanks for the memory. Saludos!

    my family celebrates this tradition with our grandparents who were frequent travelers to mexico, they were even welcomed in by a mexican family, they would hook their airstream up and travel across the boarder to this families house and park their trailer, so naturally my granny would wear mexican dresses around her house, every nov 1 my mom my aunt, dad and uncle would go to their graves and put down flowers for them

    It's very similar to Vietnamese culture where we gather and eat when a beloved one has passed. The offering as well. We burn money for them to spend in the underworld. We also have an alter for our ancestor and burn incense and offer fruits.

    Thank you for sharing. Great coverage! While this tradition is a touching sentiment for people to remember their loved ones who died, all who die remain asleep in death, unconscious to time and place, until called forth by Jesus Christ at the first or second resurrection (Ecclesiastes 9, John 5, Revelation 20).

      Hola, yo soy Mexicana , y si celebró mis tradiciones preshispanicas y también soy prácticante de mi fé católica.
      Celebró el día y yo en el altar en la parte superior está un arco, que significa la puerta para ir al cielo y un crucifijo que recuerda y representa que Jesús venció a la Muerte y nos invita a ir con Él.
      En esos días rezo el santo rosario por mis seres queridos y por todos a los olvidados a los que no les rezan. ( Almas del purgatorio)
      En mi altar hay velas benditas, representa la Luz de Cristo.
      Jesús es la Luz. Quien vive alejado de Jesús, viven en oscuridad espiritual.
      Y también obviamente pongo flores.
      No todos los de México celebramos igual de forma cristiana. Pero seguimos habiendo cristianos católicos.
      Saludos.
