Food and the Circle of Life

In Mexico, on the Day of the Dead, families honour deceased relatives, by bringing picnics to their graves and eating there ‘with’ them. Sumptuous dishes are prepared for these feasts-- the dead person's favourite meal, with chocolate drinks, skull-shaped sugar candies and a special bread for the occasion, pan de muerto, the ‘bread of the dead’. The festival celebrates the cycle of life and death and, in this sense, the Bread of the Dead is also the Bread of Life, for life and death are one.
Blessings on your table!
