2022 Day of the Dead celebration

People in Mexico and other Latin American nations have been commemorating the Day of the Dead, or Da de Muertos, for the past two days in order to pay respect to deceased family members and acknowledge death as a natural part of life. The parades include depictions of La Catrina, terrifying skeletons, and other symbols of the afterlife. These pictures were gathered from Mexico, Peru, the United States, and other places.
