Day of the dead dÃÂa de muertos at the Church of San Andres Apostol. San Andres Mixquic is known for its Day of the Dead commemorations, which consist of both ritual and cultural events lasting from 31 October to 2 November. These events culminate in the Alumbrada, when the cemetery that surrounds the communityââ¬â¢s main church glows with thousands of candles and smoke from incense the evening of 2 November. This community was designated as a `Barrio Mágico` by the city in 2011. |
