beautiful altars are made in each home. They are decorated with candles, buckets of flowers mounds of fruit, peanuts, plates of turkey mole, stacks of tortillas and big Day-of-the-Dead breads called pan de muerto. The altar needs to have lots of food, bottles of soda, hot cocoa and water for the weary spirits. Toys and candies are left for the angelitos, cigarettes and shots of mezcal are offered to the adult spirits.
