Sugar Skulls are a traditional folk art from Southern Mexico used to celebrate Day of the Dead. Mounds of colorful creations are sold by Indian vendors in open air village markets during the week preceding the celebration of the ancient ritual. During “Dia de los Muertos”, spirits of the dead are welcomed back to their homes with beautifully decorated altars made by their loved ones. Sugar skulls, marigolds, candles, incense and special foods adorn the deeply personal home altars. In addition, families take flowers and sugar skulls to their family cemeteries to decorate the tombs on November 2. (diademuertos.net)
