Farmers are working non-stop to clear out the marigold fields. Fields have lost their orange color. The last truckloads of marigolds are transported to the markets to be sold along many other staples to decorate the ofrendas (altars with offerings for the dead).
Hojaldras de pan de muerto (bread of the dead) are sold by the arroba (10 kilos worth) in bakeries and private homes as well.
Marigold crosses and petal paths lead the way to the welcoming homes that display their small and large ofrendas already set up for their dead.
