2. October 31
Infants and children who have
died are angelitos, or "little
angels." They follow the path of
marigolds home, where their
families have altars with pan de
muertos, sweet tamales and sugar
calaveras.
November 1
The angelitos must be gone. The
offerings at the altars are
appointed for the "faithful dead"
or adult souls with pan de
muertos, tamales, mole,
cigarettes and tequila.
November 2
Mummers run around town
wearing masks to chase the
stubborn souls back to the land of
the dead.
