Woman arranging candles on a grave during the celebration of Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead at the San Pedro Cucuchucho cemetery. People decorate the graves of their loved ones with offerings of flowers, particularly marigolds (cempoalxóchitl or zempasuchil), bread of the dead (pan de muerto), candles, the deceased's favourite food, drinks and personal belongings to guide their spirits home. Families celebrate their late relatives by the tombs all night from November 1, All Saints Day to November 2, All Souls Day.
