Elaboration Of Pan De Muerto De Ceniza De Totomoxtle (Bread Of The Dead) In Mexico.

Yamileth Padron, originally from the Tlahuac mayor's office in the southern tip of Mexico City, poses in front of a mural and an offering with a Bread of the Dead decorated with Totomoxtle Ash on the eve of Day of the Dead in Mexico. Totomoxtle, commonly known as the husk or leaf that covers the cob, is normally used by farmers to feed animals. Another of the most common uses is for the preparation of traditional tamales. Meanwhile, the Cempasuchil Flower symbolizes the Day of the Dead in Mexico. Thanks to its color and aroma, it is one of the most representative elements of offerings to the dead. Its name comes from the Nahuatl word Cempohualxochitl, which means ''Flower with twenty petals.'' (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
