Yesterday was All Hallow's Eve (Halloween), today is All Saint's Day, and tomorrow is All Soul's Day, three Christian holidays that in Mexico are celebrated as a multi-day holiday called the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos). To me, seeing people dressed up as skeletons to celebrate Dia de los Muertos seems a bit macabre, but a day of remembrance for those who have departed, which is what All Soul's Day is about, makes perfect sense. Plus, I get to use some of the cemetery photographs I have taken over the years. Sounds like a "win win" to me.
