The bread of the dead is a sweet typical of Mexico that consumes the 'Day of the Dead' to honor the memory of loved ones who are no longer. This day was declared by UNESCO "Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" on November 7, 2003.
Although the origin of this dessert dates from the 16th century, according to INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History) its consumption seems to be a tradition inspired by pre-Hispanic rituals, symbolizing today the circle that unites life and death , hence its round shape.

On June 23, the festival of Sant Joan is celebrated, a festivity that pays tribute to the sun on the longest day of the year and, especially, on the shortest night.
