  • Mexicos's most populous Indian community, a mosaic of more than 400.000, lives in a most unexpected place, in the heart of the one of the largest megalopoli on earth, Mexico City. Tenaciously clinging to to ancient traditions, they continue to weave dreams and make plans difficult to undertand by  those part of their world. The ties to their homes are so strong, that some researchers define these urban groups as ?embassies? for their distant villages...that form, in many ways, a different world. This Indian world of the city is a subterranean universe, often hidden behind the annonymous doorway of some rundown colonial mansion.

The cemetery is famous for its colourful tombstones with naïve paintings describing in an original and poetic manner, the life of the local people buried there with scenes from their lives and work. The Merry Cemetery, now an open-air museum, is linked to the name of the local artist Stan Ioan P?tra? who in 1935 sculpted the first tombstone cross. In 1960s, more than 800 of such oak wood crosses came into this unusual cemetery.
