In Mexico City, the parade of the day of the dead returns after the pandemic |LFM Radio<

Thousands of people, many disguised, participated Sunday in downtown Mexico.This demonstration had been suspended last year due to the COVVI-19 pandemic.

Under an intense sun, Mexicans and foreign tourists were made up like skulls or terrifying characters, many wearing colorful costumes, decorated with flowers and macabre accessories.

"Last year I wanted to come, but it was canceled.Now we have taken the opportunity, "says Yadira Altamirano, 38, a Mexican who has lived since childhood in California, the United States.

Dressed in a black dress with flower prints and made up in "Catrina", the cadaveric representation of a lady of Mexican high society from the end of the 19th century, Altamirano is an enthusiastic participant of the tradition of the day of the dead."I am the only one in my family who always draws up her altar, her offering, and we are still dinner on November 2 at midnight," she told AFP.

The parade started from Zocalo, the main place of the capital, where local tourist secretary, Paola Félix, dedicated the event to medical staff on the front line of the fight against the pandemic, as well as those who diedfrom COVVI-19.
