The blocking power of the Arizona-Mexico border is no match for ancient tradition. El Dia de los Muertos or The Day of the Dead, a Mexican tradition dating back to before the Spanish Conquistadors arrived, is celebrated with fervor across Arizona.
The celebration is now a hybrid of pagan, indigenous culture and Catholicism, honoring those who have died.
Below is a great video of this year celebration.
