shewasanicon:findout: This weekend we are going to celebrate the Day of the Dead in Mexico, November 1st (btw my birthday) and 2nd. I like this time of the year when we remember those who are not around anymore, we share food, music and thoughts.  So millions are visiting graveyards and putting altars at home (I’m doing both).  This tradition has to do with the syncretism of catholisism and prehispanic religions -Aztec and Maya among others and their relation with the underworld.   + + + + Diego Rivera, artist
