Cultures celebrate the deceased in various ways. For those of us who have grown up in the United States, we may associate Halloween with costumes, trick-or-treating, and horror movies, but many countries have their own rituals. 

The month of July is the time we celebrate what it means to be Peruvian. Our streets are embroidered with Peruvian flags above every home and building, and children and workers wear cockades, or knotted ribbons, with our national colors in remembrance of the day we declared our independence from the Spanish Crown. In preparation for Peru’s July 28th independence celebration, the restaurants bring on more staff because eating in Peru means so much more than just the food.
