Day of the Dead

The end of October and beginning of November are very important days in many parts of the world.  In many parts of Latin America, and in the Philippines (leave a comment – where else are there similar celebrations?), the first few days of November are the Days of the Dead.  Many people in other parts of the world don’t realize how big these days are.  So I’m going back through the blogs in search of posts on the topic, both new and old:

• From Guatemala, some comments and pictures – Day of the Dead and More Pictures of Day of the Dead
• From the Mexico perspective, Day(s) of the Dead – an introduction, a visit to Mexico City in All Saints Day, the spiritual battle, and more thoughts on the Day of the Dead.
• More pictures and comments from Ecuador – Day of the Dead
• And what about the Philippines?  Remember, there’s more to the Day of the Dead than just remembering loved ones.  Here are a few more pictures.
• Finally, a visit to Brazil.  A post from last year – Day of the Dead November 2.  It’s not like Mexico here in Brazil.
