The Vigil of the Little Angels,
Day of the Dead in Mexico

Text and photos by Mary J. Andrade
Illustrations by José J. Murguia

In Mexico, Day of the Dead is celebrated on November first and second. Several days before, adults get ready to honor the memory of their loved ones with altars and vigils at the cemetery.

In the area of Lake Patzcuaro in Michoacan, children participate in The Vigil of the Little Angels, under the loving guidance of their mothers and grandmothers. It is this way that tradition is kept alive in these communities from generation to generation.

In this delightfully illustrated book, Mary J. Andrade teaches and passes the tradition on to a whole new generation of children.
