Cutting And Selling Cempasuchil Flower On The Eve Of Day Of The Dead In Mexico

A local producer of Cempasuchil Flowers in the Tlahuac mayor's office on the southern edge of Mexico City, separates flowers after they have been cut for sale on the eve of the Day of the Dead in Mexico. The Cempasuchil Flower symbolizes the Day of the Dead in Mexico. Thanks to its color and aroma, it is one of the most representative elements of offerings to the deceased. Its name comes from the Nahuatl Cempohualxochitl, which means ''Flower with twenty petals.'' During pre-Hispanic times, the Mexica assimilated the yellow color of this flower with the sun, therefore, they used it in altars, offerings and burials dedicated to their dead that took them to Mictlan, the underworld.
