Entre ángeles. Historias de un panteón de la Sierra Nevada, Puebla

Abstract

Death is a natural and social event that requires special rituals and spaces to keep the bodies of people who have begun their departure from this visible world. The history of the construction of the Los Angeles cemetery in the community of San Felipe Teotlalcingo on the slopes of Iztaccihuatl in the state of Puebla dates to the late nineteenth century and was the result of the Reform Laws of 1859. Its history is interwoven with accounts from twentieth-century oral history, daily life, and the organization of the community.
