💀 The Day of the Dead is celebrated just about everywhere in the world, but it's in Mexico, every November 2, that it finds its most popular and ̶ paradoxically ̶ most joyous expression. In Mexico, this festival dates back to the time of the Aztecs, several thousand years ago. In homes and cemeteries, altars are set up with offerings to the spirits of the departed for their return to the realm of the living. A glass of pulque, a sweet fermented drink to quench thirst after the long journey, "pan de muerto", a typical bread often decorated with bones, sugar skulls, but also photos of the deceased, incense or even flowers like marigolds to guide wandering souls. In the streets, Mexicans sing and dance to wake their dead, hoping to keep them close to them for the duration of the festival. Costumes are an important part of the celebrations. Ladies particularly enjoy dressing up as La Catrina, the skeleton of a bourgeois woman from another era, adorned with her famous flowery hat. ¡Feliz Día de Muertos! 🎉
