La Reunion Familiar
 
DESCRIPTION: For Mexicans, death is not forever. Each year on Nov. 1st, it is believed that the spirits of departed loved ones return to visit their families. To celebrate, families picnic at the graves, carefully decorating them with yellow cempasuchil (Marigold or “Twenty Petal Flower” in Aztec), a flower native to Mexico & Central America. Relatives also put the dead’s favorite foods and drinks on the grave and light candles to welcome them back. A “sahumerio” (incense burner) is filled with “copal” (tree resin) and lit so that the dead can follow the smoke back to their reunion.
