LookLook, thanks for another great blog. Mexico celebrates the Day of the Dead on November 2nd of each year and seems to be a similar tribute to those who have gone before us. Celebrating The Day of the Dead has a long history in Mexico. Sometime one hears reference to “the days of the Dead” which refers to the Days of October 31 – November 2. October 31 is Halloween or All Hallows eve. November 1 is “el Dia de los innnocentes” or the day of the children and All Saints Day. November second is All Souls Day or the Day of the Dead. Fossil Thanks for the information about Mexico added here in the blog. It has surely enhanced the richness of the blog. As far as I know that the day is also observed in some churches of the Anglican Communion in Western Christianity! Thanks once again for stopping by and for your detailed response. Take care and stay happy!

Very interesting pictures. Thank you. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
