Since pre-Columbian times many Mexican towns honor their dead relatives through fascinating rituals. At the beginning of November the people prepare themselves to welcome their dearly departed.. They place offerings of food, liquor, toys, candy, cigarettes and flowers so the visiting dead enjoy their aroma. In the evening, people go to the cemetery to bid farewell to their dead; thousand of candles are lit to
guide them on their long journey back. This program was taped in Mixquic, the ancient Aztec town where the Day of the Dead has been celebrated through the centuries..

This program was purchased by the Mexican Department of Foreign Relations for their consulates so they could show the authentic Day of the Dead celebration
