    I lived inMexico for a time (way back) but I do remember the importance of the Dia de Muertos for just about everybody. The markets, the bazaars and just about everywhere you see loads of artifacts and items relating to death. By the way the sugar skulls were delicious. If my memory serves me right, it is a celebration by the living for those who have passed on. It amazed, but I also found it profound, that families would take a picnic to the cemetary to share with their ancestors.

    Thank you for this great page about The Day of the Dead. It's fascinating and informative. The figures have always interested me as we celebrate each year. I've added a link on my doll & puppet directory lens.
