This was pretty much the first image one saw when entering the Teatro courtyard where the Celebration for the Dia de Los Muertos was held on November 1 and 2. An artistically displayed grouping of 60-70 lifesized (or maybe they were real?) skulls greeted visitors.
The altars were of such a wonderful variety! These men pictured looked like Mexican desperados to me. But maybe they were someone's family too. Even desperados have mothers and fathers. But if the skeletons overhead are any indication they were most likely heros of the Revolution of 1910. Note the abundance of skulls on the table. Skulls, skeletons, coffins, and all manner of the macabre are seen.
Shown here is one of the special candies that are made for this celebration---sugar skulls!! Yummmmm. . . .
