Day of the Dead Honors

November first, day of the dead
Full of traditions, honoring the fallen
We light a red candle at sunset
Lay a table of food for the deceased
Eat sugar skulls, signifying bringing dead to life within ourselves
Masks and signs are paraded in a festival’s procession
Celebrating the cycle of life and death
November first, day of the dead

Can I take a pass on the 'sugar skulls?' After Halloween night, I'm all sugared out... Thanks, in advance. ~ gw

No you have to at least take a tiny bite
