Día de los Fieles Difuntos (Day of the Dead Celebration)

The day of the faithful departed is not a sad day. It is the day we put your photo, your favorite food and a candle on the table, and we tell your stories again so that no one forgets.

In Cantona we celebrate it as it is celebrated in the family: outdoors, with the children running through the trees, the smell of bread and the orange of cempasuchil marking the way. Bring your parents, your children and the photo of whoever you want to remember.
