Description

This is an image of the ghost of a mother, taken at the Desert Botanical Gardens. It is from a traditional play, performed on the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos--Nov. 1-2. The play is about an Indian mother who drowned her children, when she had a dream about the imminent invasion of the Spanish. She returns every year to capture any children running outside after dark, near the river where she drowned her children. The folk story play is repeated as part of the Day of the Dead celebration.
