In my country, Guatemala, we celebrate 1st of November as "Dia de los Muertos" Day of the death. They are remembered in a very positive way. It is very different from Mexico and other countries. We like to build huge kites to send blessings to our ancestors. In this photo, Dia de Muertos is celebrated in Sumpango, Guatemala. Over 10 mt diameter hand made kites with amazing designs to send blessings to our ancestors. Guatemalans believe that the souls come out of their tombs, so many people go to decorate with flowers and have a picnic at the cemetery. It is a joyful occasion. It is also a tradition to put a photo of the decease, a glass with water and a candle to honor the ancestor. Many believers say to had visions or hear noises from them to indicate they are present.
