The tradition originated with the Aztecs. This is an offering for dead people with food and things they used to like. The offering has a cross, marigold flowers, incense, candles, a mirror, orange and purple decorations, food and a picture of the dead person. People go to the cemetery, take flowers to the tombs, say a prayer, and talk to the children about their dead relatives.
Ladies sell flowers outside the cemetery.
On November 20th we celebrate the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution in 1910. It is a tradition to have a parade with human pyramids and aerobic exercises in the morning.
