November the first is the day of the dead in México
A number of traditional altars are erected in houses, parks, all sort of places, offers are left in tombs, including flowers, photos, food , all in all a very colorful celebration
Decorations are created around the representation of death, many with skeletons dressed as people, or people with make up that makes them look like a skeleton, a couple of woman and man are called
Catrina y Catrín, dressed in old fancy clothing, and even outside this dates people smartly dressed will be called
catrin or
catrina to note how fancy they look.
Orange flowers - locally called
Cempazúchitl (marigold) - are used in many decorations
I did not attend any of the celebrations, but we had some dressed up women in the studio
Here is one of them, in skeleton makeup, with a fancy dress, hat, and the cempazúchitl flowers and a redish flower I'm not familiar with
