O 'Dia de Finados' occurs the same day here(Nov, 2), but it's a day of mourn, not party.

I consider all of the bagels down here in the south to be 'dead bread'. New York ruined me after a I had a few REAL bagels. *grumbling* thanks new york...

Reminds me of a scene from Quick Change. An old hispanic woman dressed in black with a basket full of flowers is standing on a street corner in the dead of night shouting in a sad, plaintive voice:

"Flores por los muertos! Flores por los muertos!"

Pretty creepy.

Funny movie though. Randy Quaid is a lunatic.

Yet, I digress... What's the significance of the bread?

:D :D Yeah, that was great! It set up the best line in the movie:

Loomis, panicking: "It's bad luck just to SEE a thing like that!"
 
"dia de muertos" is a old tradition, it says basically the deads come to your house, you give them bread, wine, books, cds, or whatever they liked when they were alive. Also candles and a photograph of the person in question should be placed in the altar.

There should be a road made of tzempatzuchitls flowers, so they know the way from the cementery to your house and back to the cementery again.

There are too many details in this "dia de muertos" thing, i don't know them all, but it seems to be an international attraction, because Tzintzuntzan is full of tourists in those days.

Nope. People that cares take flowes to the graves and don't party or be happy in that day. Personally I don't give a damn about it. Just another holiday...
 
Whal, it's official. The missus is the flying nun, and I'm giving out candy as a head nurse, in a costume that barely covers my briefs.
 
I cross-dressed in a short skirt one year, Prof. One word of advice - don;t bend over in front of the vicar.
