This photograph was taken on The Day of the Dead, a largely Mexican celebration honouring those who have died. It was taken at The San Xavier del Bac Mission near Tucson Arizona. In view of the closeness of the Mexican Border and the tensions involved it is a particularly poignant celebration. The Day of the Dead (Spanish:Dia de Los Muertos) focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and families who have died. It is a time of celebration when eating and parties are common.It takes place on October 31st. through November 3rd. The Mission San Xavier del Bac is an historic Spanish Catholic Mission located about 10 miles (16 km) south of downtown Tucson Arizona, USA on the Tohono O'odham San Xavier Indian Reservation, located on the banks of the Santa Cruz River. Those attending this celebration can bring white crosses to add to the circle of those to be remembered.
