17. Alfredo at his mother’s grave

Starting October 27th the bells chime all nigh long, to guide the dead to town. The celebration of the dead is divided in two parts, from the 27 to the 30 of October preparations are made for the “little angels”, the dead children. A shrine is set and small tamales and mole are cooked, the mole is less spicy so the dead children can “eat” it.
