Description
A village cemetary in Baja California
.....
The Day of the Dead is actually two days. Noon October 31 to noon November 1 is the day devoted to the children who have departed. Noon of November 1 to noon November 2 is for deceased adults. While Mexicans grieve for their dead loved ones, they also celebrate their memory. And a certain joy is associated with death--those who have passed on are in a better place, free of the problems of this life.
.....
Mexican poet, writer, and diplomat Octavio Paz has observed that the Mexican is on familiar terms with death, noting that he "...chases after it, mocks it, courts it . . . it is his favorite plaything and his most lasting love."
