What is the Mexican Day of the Dead?
Yes and no…
Candies and toys are made in the shape of calaveras (skulls and skeletons). The skeleton or skull is seen as a promise of resurrection, not as a symbol of death.

Calavera toys and papier-mache skeleton figures depict specific professions, musicians, brides and grooms, bicycle riders, and other subjects from everyday life.
