How we celebrate "the day of death".


Everybody know that November 2nd is a special date in Ecuador because we take it as an important day for celebrating and specially for remembering our loved relatives who are dead.
In my case, I go to visit my relatives to the cemetery. My family and I pray for them and then we leave flowers in their tomb.
Some people leaves candles and crowns, this especially in the Coast.

Frequently colors which we see in the day of death are black and purple.
We find these colors in the cards or the crowns.

Another people leave special cards which have phrases of love.
The typical food of this date is the "Colada morada" and "guaguas de pan".
These dishes are prepared just in this day and there are people who have the tradition of leaving this food in the tombs of their relatives. 
Well, that's all for now. 
I hope you like it.
