Day of the Dead (Spanish: Día de los Muertos) is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. It is particularly celebrated in Mexico, where it is a national holiday, and all banks are closed. The celebration takes place on November 1 and 2, in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saint's Day and All Soul's Day Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars honoring the deceased usin sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts. They also leave possessions of the deceased. (From Wikipedia).

This is my little diorama for this day.

A little party of the deaths.

If I understand well "el día de los muertos" is an interesting way to see the death: as part of the life, but also have the chance to remember the ones that aren't with us anymore;

every culture has the day or the way to remember the deaths, but the mexicans puts some particular joy, and make it as party, and also showing no fear about the death

Thank you very much for your comment Brig. Brick, you have a better and great explanation of this mexican tradition.

I decided to add more to this scene because I noticed that was poor, I added another tomb and a typical character of this tradition, Don Juan Tenorio.

Don Juan Tenorio is a play from José Zorrilla (spanish writer), is typical in mexican teathers during this time.

Hope you like it.
