MEXICO
Mexicans believe that the thin wall between the living and the world of the spirits is at its most permeable on the night of November 1 as All Saints Day slips silently to All Souls Day. This is the one time a year when the dead can visit the relatives they left behind who4 strive to make them welcome on their return. Dedicated to the departed, shrines are set up featuring all the deceased’s favorites. When 11:00 PM approaches, the family appears at the gravesite with candles, Incense, and marigolds where they keep an all-night vigil.
