The "Dia de los Muertos", the Day of the Dead, is one of the 
most important holidays in the Mexican calendar.  As in 
Europe, the deceased are commemorated in Mexico on November 
1st and 2nd.  Their souls return to the families on this day 
to visit and celebrate with them.  Lanterns are hung up, 
carpets of flowers point the way to the richly decorated 
mortuary altar.  Plenty of food and drink, smokers and other 
refreshments should not be missing.  There is dancing, singing 
and laughing while there is a hustle and bustle on the streets.

This colorful and morbid festival is not a mourning event, but 
a colorful folk festival in honor of the dead, who return to 
their loved ones for a brief moment every year.

Attention to detail is a trade mark of every Ulbricht 
nutcracker that originated with Otto Ulbricht in the 
Erzgebirge in 1928.
