Mexicans clean their relatives dead bones today (pic)

If you need me today, I'll be digging up my grandfather and cleaning his bones.

In this small village , the last days of October are devoted to cleaning the bones: dusting, polishing, scrubbing and rearranging the skeletal remains of family members in time for the Day of the Dead, when Mexicans welcome the souls of the dearly departed back to earth.(AP Photo/Jaime Puebla)
