( All Saints' Day Celebration at El Zocalo )

November 1, All Saints Day, and November 2, All Souls Day are marked throughout Mexico by a plethora of intriguing customs that vary widely according to the ethnic roots of each region. Common to all, however, are colorful adornments and lively reunions at family burial plots, the preparation of special foods, offerings laid out for the departed on commemorative altars and religious rites that are likely to include noisy fireworks. In most localities November 1 is set aside for remembrance of deceased infants and children, often referred to as angelitos (little angels). Those who have died as adults are honored November 2.

Something that is about to disappear soon.

Old & beautiful houses, almost gone.

Turibus

I was driving over Paseo de la Reforma and stopped in a pedestrian crossing and I get this shot.
The Turibus is a recommendable tour to know the Historic Centre and other significant places of the city, it takes about 2:45 Hs.
