Mexican village of Mixquic opens its tombs to the world

Original: mixquic

San Andrés Mixquic, south of Mexico City, is drawing international attention for its Day of the Dead tradition, when residents open graves and decorate them with flowers and candles to welcome deceased loved ones. The village welcomes thousands of visitors each November, but residents worry the UNESCO-recognized custom is turning into a spectacle rather than a sacred family ritual, and are pushing to protect its spiritual meaning.

Why now: Day of the Dead season is underway, drawing tourists and media to Mixquic's famous cemetery tradition and reviving debate over preserving it.
