Celebrate the Dead

22.2.14

Cemeteries and graves all over Mexico are decorated and honoured on The Day of the Dead, a combination of the Christian All Souls' Day with older indigenous Mexican holiday. Here is the cemetery of the lovely mountain town, San Christobal. Not only is it beautifully decorated with flowers, but the architecture of the tombs and graves are a beautiful mix of colors, tiles and crosses. It reminds me very much of the Memphis furniture we had in the house while I was growing up.
