Today locals visit the dead with religious iconic items and flowers used for building altars honoring their deceased during the Mexican celebration of the "Day of the Dead". The Day of the Dead focuses on the gathering of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died and are buried in the cemeteries. For over ten years Juarez has been the scene of hundreds of violent deaths due to the drug war between traffickers, authorities and corrupt officials. [Chinanews.com]
