    The pan de muerto is a type of sweet roll traditionally baked in Mexico during the weeks leading up to the Día de Muertos, which is celebrated on November 1 and 2.

As part of the celebration, loved ones eat pan de muerto as well as the relative's favorite foods. The bones represent the disappeared one and there is normally a baked tear drop on the bread to represent goddess Chimalma's tears for the living. The bones are represented in a circle to portray the circle of life. The bread is topped with sugar.
