Pictured is an unsigned colorful Dia de los Muertos mural in an alley by the building of Living Arts of Tulsa in Tulsa, Oklahoma. A common symbol of the holiday is the skull, called a calavera in Spanish. In this mural a young lady is wearing a marigold in her hair and a skull mask worn by celebrants called a calacas. The marigold is the traditional flower used to honor the dead. The monarch butterfly is believed to hold the spirits of the departed.
