Sorry, if I didn't explain myself very well in the previous post. I meant to say that as a community, we don't engage in honoring our individual loved ones who have passed. At least, I've never seen it or been involved in anything like that. We each remember in our own ways.

Oh ~~ sorry, Felina! I did not mean to sound as though I was correcting you. I mentioned my son's altar because it was out-of-the-ordinary, not because it disproved your point.

I come from Louisiana where people go to the cemeteries on All Souls Day and place flowers, but it's nothing like how the holiday is celebrated in Mexico.

No problem whatsoever. Sometimes my sloppy punctuation gets the best of me and I'm not as clear as I intended.

Having many neighbors in my home state before here, I am well versed in "Dia de los Muertos". I find the idea of it comforting. Thanks for the beautiful photos.
