Day of the dead

The day of the dead is a festival occurs on the 1st and 2nd of November. This festival is cerebrated in Mexico.It is cerebrated by not only Mexican people but also people living in the United States and Canada. The holiday focuses to remember friends and family members who have died. It's like "OBON" in Japan. During this festival, there are alot of decolation. For example, marigolds, sugar skulls, favorite foods and so on. In our image, skeletons are scary thing, but in the festival, they are decolated brightly.Look at this picture. Don't you think this is cute? People are olso decorated. Many people join to the costume procession. Their costume is characteristic and unique. I thought this custom is similar to Halloween.
