On november 1st dia de los angeles (Day of the angels) is when we people make altars to the kids that past away. On november 2nd day of the dead (Dia de loa muertos) is celebrated by making altars and putting flowers of "cimpasuchil" is an orange flower we also put sugar skeletons with names on their forehead. After that people eat the sugar skeleton. Offerings are placed on the altar, things that the past away people liked like their favorite food or drinks that they kiked when they were alive. It it supposed that they come to share with us.
Some people spend the entire day in the cementary on the side of their relatives or their loved ones that ore in the tombs. Lots of people make a verse called "calaberitas" is like a form of joke so they are not sad about their dead. In my town the church priest goes to the cementery and offers a ceremony to all tha dead in the cementery. Lots of people assist to this ceremony an after it they stay there and spend their day with their people.
