Dia de los Metros - Day of the Dead Sugar Skulls
Day of the Dead is celebrated on November 1 & 2 in central and southern Mexico. They believe the gates of heaven are opened at midnight on October 31 and the spirits are allowed to come down and enjoy the festivities their families have prepared for them.
Beautiful altars are prepared and decorated with candles, buckets of flowers and mounds of certain food and drink.
Sugar Skulls represent a departed soul and are places on the home altar of gravestone to honor the return of that spirit. Sugar Skulls are done in a folk art style with colorful icing, sparkly tin and glittery adornments. They are packed away to be used year after year.
