Story

People around the world engage in jubilant ceremony to honor dead ancestors. The time-honored traditions unify the living and dead through merriment, feasts, dances, rituals and parties. In Mexico, altars are made and adorned with decorative skulls and children joyfully consume candied bones, skulls and other emblems of death. There are many other names for similar events including Samhain, All Hallows' Eve, and Halloween. The cups glow with luminous life and reflect the happiness that presides over the celebratory scene. The three skeletons look in three different directions: past, present, and future, and are reminders of the life cycle.
