Dia de Los Muertos
ABC7's Alysha Del Valle celebrates "Dia de los Muertos," a traditional Mexican holiday when revelers honor loved ones who have passed by creating grand altars. Face painting is another way to commemorate Dia de los Muertos. The paintings usually include the image of the skull on one side of the face. Alysha's face was painted by Artist Judith Bautista.
