All Saints' Day

Halloween is a "new" celebration for us, going back just some years. Out traditional celebration these days is All Saints' Day on November 1st. Many people visit cemeteries to bring flowers to their deceased loved ones, and we have some "huesos de santo" (saint's bones) with coffee after lunch. Huesos de santo are similar to marzipan, but not exactly the same.

Lovely capture and tradition.

What a great photo! Fav!

From living in Mexico (and of course the movie Coco - which I love) I know that the 1st of November is Día de los muertos, but I never heard of "huesos de santo". That is why I love the 365 - I learn so many interesting things.

@ingrid01 Thanks! As far as I know, "huesos de santo" are only eaten in Spain.

@merrelyn Thanks, they are really good - unfortunately they can only be found for some days a year... but it makes them more especial. Also, supermarkets have given in to halloween candy, so these sweets are hand-made in traditional bakeries.

Interesting delicacies! And an attractive composition
