Day of the Dead
November 2, 2009
Caborca Municipal Cemetery
The Day of the Dead, Dia de los Muertos, is an important
Mexican cultural tradition observed on November 2nd.

Like Memorial Day in the US, Mexicans take flowers and other
adornments to the cemetery, where they clean and decorate
the graves of loved ones and spend time at the grave sites.

In addition, educators use the day as a cultural learning
experience, as students build altars and present information
about the traditions and their significance.
