Today is All Saints day, here in Bolivia, they make the traditional Mast'aku, which is a special table where you can find all the food that the beloved disease used to like to eat, there is a belief that all dead people come to their houses on November 1st and they return to their graves the next day, right now many children are singing and praying to the dead people in order to get some food, bread, cakes or other kind of food. It's interesting how the sincretism is part of Bolivian tradition.
Here are some pictures of my day:
