Stock photography of Mexico's Day of the Dead Festival held annually in cemeteries around Mexico. Called Dia de los Muertos in Mexico, our stock photo travel images of the Days of the Dead show Mexican families decorating the graves of dead family members with flowers and offerings of food. The Festival of the Days of the Dead or Dias de los Muertos culminates with a night long, candlelit vigil held at graveside in cemeteries throughout Mexico and is a favorite travel destination shared by tourists from around the world. Our stock photography shows village markets selling craft items related to the Day of the Dead Festival or Dias del Muerto Fiesta like candy skulls with children's names. Our travel images show one of the most famous Mexican craft markets that displays Days of the Dead crafts is in the Tarascon Indian town of Patzcuaro in the State of Michoacan where the Tarascon Indians sell their famous devil pottery during the Days of the Dead festival. Our stock photos of the Patzcuaro market show devil ceramics and pottery in the form of skeletons and fantastic demon animals. From these markets, which are popular with visiting tourists, we have stock photographs of the special bread called pan muerto, baked especially for the Day of the Dead Festival. Pan muerto might also decorate Day of the Dead altars with flowers, fruit and candy skulls displayed in private homes and town plazas. the Odyssey stock photo agency has a library of photographs of the Day of the Dead Festival held in cemeteries near the colonial town of Patzcuaro in Michoacan, at Tzintzuntzan and on the Island of Janitizo located in Lake Patzcuaro and Dias de los Muertos or Day of the Dead Altars in Oaxaca, Mexico. We also have stock photography of brightly colored, folkart headstones, shaped like minerature churches in the village cemetery of Ocotepec near Cuernavaca; plus stock photos and travel pictures of fanciful, Days of the Dead folkart pieces and toys shaped like skulls and skeletons made from papier-mache and reflecting Mexican life.
