Dead's day

The Dead's day is a very famous celebration in México, we celebrate it the first and the second of November, in this celebration  we put the ofrenda that consist in flowers of cempasuchitl, oranges, bananas, dead's bread, golletes, incienso, mole, and the food that our family liked to eat, also some people put cigars, alcohol, pictures, toys... etc.

This is my ofrenda :)

The children usually go home to home singing and asking from fruit, candy or bread,. in other places like la condesa, this children ask for money.
This is the song that sings in my town, San Gregorio:"Ave María Purísima, sin pecado concedido.
Salgan, salgan, salgan, animas en pena, rompan sus cadenas, un rosario santo, una ave María y un Padre Nuestro.
Padre Nuestro que estás en el cielo, santificado sea tu nombre, venganos a tu reino, hagase señor tu voluntad aquí en la tierra como en el cielo, danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día, perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdanomos a los que nos ofenden, no nos dejes caer en la tentación y libranos de todo mal amén.
Ya llegó la chilindrina a pedir su mandarina..."
Some people say other rhymes but this is the original song in my town. :)
Also we go to the pantheon and clean the graves, put flowers, candles, talk and remember the people that gone., the most important of this day is remember our dead people and never forget it.

In the Escuela Nacional Preparatoria No.1 was a nice celebration, the decoration was good, and the thursday a lot of people dressed like a dead people or other costumes, also the groups put their ofrendas in the parking of the school, was very nice! the afternoon was better than the morning, was a musical group that plays with drums and trumpets, we was dancing and was very funny ^^, but the best part was when the students let go a paper ballons with fire inside :3

I think that Dead's day is the most important celebration in México, that represents our respect to the deads and the folklore of our country, and i like it a lot. :)
