On Day Of Dead, Bolivians Remember COVID-19 Departed By Baking Bread In Their Likeness

All Saints’ Day is marked on Nov. 1 in many parts of Latin America, a time when families remember their deceased. With the region hit hard by the coronavirus, this year will be particularly poignant for many, and restrictions on social gatherings mean it will be harder for the usual festivities to take place.

In a market in La Paz, Lourdes Vasquez has set up an altar to remember a colleague who died. It has a large, coffin-shaped loaf that says “COVID-19 2020” on it, as well as offerings of fruit, drinks and snacks.
