The second of November is celebrated as "The Day of the Dead".
The tradition originated with the Aztecs.

This is an offering for dead people with food and things they used to like. 
The offering has a cross, marigold flowers, incense, candles, a mirror,
orange and purple decorations, food and a picture of the dead person.

People go  to the cemetery, take flowers to the tombs, say a prayer,
and talk to the children about their dead relatives.

Ladies sell flowers outside the cemetery.

On November 20th we celebrate the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution in 1910.
It is a tradition to have a parade with human pyramids and aerobic exercises in the morning.
