Todos Santos (all saints)

One of the beautifully decorated graves

"TantaWawas" This bread is called "tons of babies"...directly translated. Beautiful and tasty too. 

Tantawawas
It's quite like trick-or-treating. Ask the seƱora who to pray for, say some prayers, and you will be gifted lots of bread. These tombs are decorated every year on All Souls day. Here's one of my students receiving bread after a prayer. He took us to the cemetery to pray on Monday.
A view of the party.This was just down the road from the university. A cemetery for the community members.  The souls are having their going away party... until next year.
