Dia de Muertos is a Mexican holiday celebrated at the end of October and the first week of November every year. Its one of the most important celebrations in Mexico, with roots dating back to thousands of years, long before the Spanish settlers arrived. It has become a blend of Catholic tradition and Mexican mysticism, commemorating death as another element of life and is an intimate family tradition, a way to remember and honor loved ones. I made these photographs in Oaxaca City, Oaxaca in November, 2022.
