Día de los Muertos one year ago today, outside the pantheon, performers and other locals prepared the caravan to lead the souls of the Dead back home in a celebration of their life so their loved ones would feel their presence. Inside the pantheon, however, was no less festive as tombs were decorated in marigolds and other offerings, some cleaned and painted the tombs, and others still gathered and told stories. The scene that truly struck me, though, was that of a birthday celebration at the princess castle tomb of a little girl who passed far too young. Her birthday would have been just days before so the family attended a birthday party for her complete with gifts and all. They were more than happy to recount stories with me and share photos and memories. There was no sadness, no pain of loss, only a feeling of gratefulness for having been blessed with their time together at all. . . . . . . #diadelosmuertos #dayofthedead #culturaldiversity #culturalexchange #celebrationoflife #traditions #mexico🇲🇽 #mexico_amazing #mexico_fotos #mexico_great_shots #unlimitedmexico #amorxmexico #goodvibesonly #goodpeople #dontbelievethelies #bucketlist #iwanttomovethere #peoplewhocare #kindness #kindnessmatters #lovenothate #opentheboarders #peoplearentillegal #stopthehate #communicate — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/34pmRL8

Proud of you Manchester. Productive meeting this morning on our trips to help refugee camps, then off to the solidarity rally, which had a great turn out, even though the weather was rubbish.#opentheboarders #manchester #refugeeswelcome
