CEMENTERIO: Todos los Santos
On All Saints Day families began arriving at the Municipal Pantheon of San Cristobal de las Casas before noon, bringing flowers and gifts to place at the graves of their ancestors, after taking great care and time to groom the immediate surroundings. The mood outside the main entrance was festive and at times chaotic as visitors jostled to purchase flowers from the local women. Inside the walls of the cemetery hired bands of musicians could be heard serenading families as they gathered around the graves of loved ones.
