BOLIVIA-TRADITION-SKULLS
People holding their "ñatitas" (snub nose -an affectionate nickname for human skulls), pray on November 8, 2011 at the general cemetery in La Paz. According to a traditional pre-Columbian Andean ritual, thousands Bolivians celebrate the "Day of the Ñatitas" or "time of the death", offering food, alcoholic beverages and cigarrettes to the skulls of relatives or unidentified people, to thank the dead for guarding the homes and posessions of the living.
