Dos Panteones/Two Cemeteries

Every village has a pantheon, a cemetery and each is different, reflecting the nature of the people in the village. Here are two distinctly different panteones in Oaxaca.  The first is from Tlacolula de Matamoros and the second from San Antonio Castillo Velasco. The first has trees over 500 hundreds old.  And in the second the people come out on Nov.3 to have a mass and to decorate the graves.  There is a competition for the best.  There music and family are always so gracious and friendly
