La Paz; Bolivia; Fiesta de las 補titas; people in chapel holding skulls. The annual celebration is held on 8 November; to commemorate and thank the 馻titas; which are skulls kept in shrines at home. These skulls are considered as helpers and intercessors for the living. The largest celebration is at the Cementerio General (Cemetery General). In this photo; people holding skulls stand in the cemetery chapel. They are waiting so their skulls can hear a service; and hope that they will receive a blessing. Photo 2009.
