Pan de Muertos
The bread of the dead is bittersweet,
flavored with anise and oranges,
its golden crust glazed with sugar,
almost the color of marigolds.
The round loaf represen'
the circle of life and death.
On top, extra dough shapes
the skull and crossbones,
reminding us of the death
that waits under our living skin.
To taste the bread is to weep for
what has been lost, yet hope
for what is still to come.

The character design for Carmen Sánchez (Manolo’s mother) was inspired by legendary Golden Age of Mexican Cinema actress Yolanda Montes AKA Tongolele. Montes passed away in February this year at the age of 93

Obviously, “The Book of Life” is centered around #DiaDeMuertos the annual (November 1st & 2nd) , Mexican holiday that honors the memory of people who have passed away. Usually, it involves altars at home and/or in public dedicated to friends & family know as ofrendas that features flowers, candles and favorite foods/items of passed loved ones (these are the ones at our and my grandparents’ house)

Maria’s last name of “Posada” is a reference to Mexican political lithographer José Guadalupe Posada. In the Spanish language version of the film La Muerte is called La Catrina in honor of that iconic #DiaDeLosMuertos etching “La Calavera Catrina” by Posada

A poor substitute for a @lindasgoluppiart task.
Today:
Collect all of the #skulls that you made on the 2nd. Yes, including the ones that blew over the fence into your neighbour's garden. Knock on the door and ask politely.
It is time to fold them and store them in a box ready for next year. #GuyFawkesFortnight is on to its next stage already.
Again, a special rule for the task master: The box may not be #brown, either.
Do not store the skulls with fireworks.

The fear of ICE didn’t stop the Día de los Muertos procession in San Francisco, and I’m relieved to read (thanks to @MLNow) that it went just fine. I read that Berkeley cancelled its festivities due to community fears. I hate that folks are having to make hard decisions about such events.

“Food, being a typical offering on a Day of the Dead festival altar, was also collected during a food drive benefitting the Family Service Society of Paducah.” https://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/four-rivers-indivisible-hosts-day-of-the-dead-in-remembrance-of-lives-lost-in-ice/article_cd69da56-782b-410e-8ec3-67815a9025d1.html #DíaDeLosMuertos
Day of the Dead vigils honor immigrants who’ve died in ICE custody.
“I didn’t know him, but he could have been my brother, he could have been a neighbor, he could have been my family,” said one vigil attendee in Chicago:

Cempasúchil — the marigold — is the traditional flower used to decorate the altar (ofrenda) for the Day of the Dead in Mexico.
And despite the names French Marigold or African Marigold, the marigold genus is native to Mexico, Central America, and parts of S. America.
