Day dedicated to the memory of the lost PeruviansOn this day, which is dedicated to the memory of the fallen Peruvians, as a rule, a solemn procession of residents to the cemeteries is held. They carry flowers and foods to share symbolically with the souls of their deceased relatives. Tradition dictates to spend the whole night, until dawn on November 2, by candlelight in vigils in the cemetery.

There is another tradition, it affects those Peruvians who buried their children. When these people meet a child on the street, they give him or her a small piece of sweet potatoes or coconut wrapped in a bright wrapper, as well as other sweets wrapped in colored wrappers. These sweets are called angels.
