Today is the start of the Day of the Dead, an important 3-day holiday in Mexico. Mistakenly condemned by some fundamentalists as a celebration of death itself, with satanic overtones, it's really all about honoring the memory of your ancestors.
The skull in this photo from last year is a classic example of the imagery seen in much of the associated folk art, so I'm re-running it today.
Light some candles and think about your loved ones who have passed on.
