Preparation Of Pan De Muerto On The Occasion Of The Day Of The Dead In Mexico
Milk is seen poured into a well to make yeast and add it to dough made by members of the Valdes family originally from Santiago Zapotitlan Tlahuac, at the southern end of Mexico City, to bake Pan de Muerto in a stone oven for sale on eve of the Day of the Dead in Mexico on 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)
