Dia de los Muertos

We went to the local Catholic cemetery today, in honor of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), All Saints Day (today), and All Souls Day (tomorrow). It was a beautiful day and we saw some very old headstones.

There was this cross,
marking the grave of an Irish immigrant who died in 1890.

There was this double headstone - mother and child - fashioned out of rocks.

Lots of Mary statues - some with rosaries...

And some without.

And even one of Scott's French Angels,
marking the grave of a woman who died earlier this year.
What a peaceful and holy place.
