After a few days of enchanting celebration and moving observance, another Day of the Dead has come to pass. Now, as decorations are dismounted and the smell of flowers fades from the air, we take a look back at the colors and the splendor of this Mexican holiday. From monumental parades in Mexico’s largest cities to the quiet remembrances that take place at every home around the country, this is a multi-layered event that anyone can be part of.

Across Mexico, people set up ofrendas—an offering at an alter meant to welcome deceased loved ones. Meanwhile, some revel in dressing up as catrinas—the elegantly dressed skeletons that have become synonymous with this celebration. The most common way of celebrating this renowned holiday is the timeless tradition of families visiting and decorating their loved one’s graves before setting a feast. This practice always offers the most touching and beautiful scenes.
