Catrina style sweeps Mexico City's Day of the Dead parade <br /><br />The Catrina look was ubiquitous on Saturday, November 1, as Mexicans and foreigners flocked to the annual Day of the Dead parade, a fixture in the capital during one of Mexico's best-known traditions. <br /><br />Performers and visitors alike swanned around in the iconic skull-inspired outfits and makeup. <br /><br />The parade featured hallmark elements of the annual tradition, such as orange cempasuchil (marigold) flowers, pre-Hispanic motifs and feathered costumes, popular-culture figures like the late singer Paquita la del Barrio, and a float with people using wheelchairs. <br /><br />The parade followed one of the city's most important avenues, Paseo de la Reforma, to the Zocalo downtown. <br /><br />Day of the Dead, or Dia de Muertos in Spanish, is a celebration to honor and welcome back the spirits of deceased loved ones. <br /><br />REUTERS VIDEO <br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at [https://www.manilatimes.net](https://www.manilatimes.net/) <br /><br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /><br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein <br /><br />#TheManilaTimes <br />#WorldNews
