All Saints' Day

Tomorrow is All Saints' Day. On All Saints' Day in Guatemala it is tradition to prepare a dish called Fiambre. The dish is traditionally shared while families visit the graves of loved ones. Also, in some of Guatemala's Mayan villages gigantic kites are flown on All Saints Day. Below you will see previous posts that relate to All Saints Day celebrations.

There is more than one way to make Fiambre. Here is an ambitious rendition from the South Florida Sun-Sentinel:
