Preparation Of Pan De Muerto On The Occasion Of The Day Of The Dead In Mexico
Members of the Valdes family, originally from Santiago Zapotitlan Tlahuac, in the southern end of Mexico City, pour egg whites into flour to prepare dough for making Bread of the Dead in a stone oven for sale on the eve of the Day of the Dead in Mexico next November 1 and 2. This Mexican sweet bread is placed on altars to honor, remember, and, according to belief, feed deceased relatives who visit homes on the Day of the Dead. (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
