Day of the Dead "XANTOLO"

The Huastecos have own peculiar way of seeing death. The most important annual commemoration of the dead are the days where people enthusiastically celebrated Huasteca mountain and native dances where a colorful and varied show of pride in indigenous dress handed down from ancestors interpreted dance groups and huehues cuanegros chiquileguas Coles .
The intertwined dance accompanied by live and dead huapangueros groups and wind bands reviving the cottage industry making spooky masks of various types of wood.
On October 30 placed the altars, religious scenes and portraits of the deceased who is dedicated the offering. Each of its elements has a special symbolism: the arc of marigold flowers and lion's paw is the gate of heaven, lights and a flower petal path for guiding souls to the altar. On it was placed drinks, snacks and deceased's favorite snuff.

The party is full of color, joy, sights, smells and tastes very unique. The city dressed in yellow and purple with marigold flowers and flower lion's paw.
