- Synopsis
- Each November first the dead come to visit. They are received and given offerings (ofrendas) of food, flowers, art and mementos of their presence on earth -- either at the cemetery or on an altar at home. A custom of the Chicano-Mexican culture practiced since ancient times, this occasion is anything but solemn or serious. It is one of the most intimate, friendly family festivals of the year -- a time of reunion of the living with the dead.
