October 31Infants and children who have

died are angelitos, or "little angels." They follow the path

of marigolds home, where their families have altars with

pan de muertos, sweet tamales and sugar calaveras.

November 1The angelitos must be

gone. The offerings at the altars are appointed for

the "faithful dead" or adult souls with pan de muertos, tamales, mole, cigarettes

and tequila.

November 2Mummers run

around town wearing masks to chase the stubborn souls back

to the land of the dead.
