Day Of The Dead In The Sierra Madre Sur Of Mexico
A view inside a cemetery in the Sierra Madre Sur of Mexico, where several people visit to decorate the graves of their loved ones with marigolds in honor of the Day of the Dead in Mexico. The marigold symbolizes the Day of the Dead in Mexico, and thanks to its color and aroma, it is one of the most representative elements of the offerings to the deceased. Its name comes from the Nahuatl word Cempohualxochitl, which means ''flower of twenty petals.'' (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
