The traditional Dia de la Muertos (Day of the Dead) Mexican celebration was observed on Friday by the Embassy of Mexico in Georgetown.
The Day of the Dead is officially celebrated on November 2nd and correlates with All Souls day on the Catholic calendar. The celebrations usually include music, plays and other forms of entertainment which are dedicated to the lives of persons who have died.
As part of the tradition, altars are made in homes, government buildings, schools and other public places with photos of persons who would have died. At the altars relatives pray and leave offerings like food and even alcoholic beverages.
