Nov. 2 (UPI) — A Dia de los Muertos event in Salt Lake City successfully created a new world record when 1,205 photos of deceased loved ones were placed on an alter.
Una Mano Amiga, a nonprofit dedicated to Mexican culture, organized the event Saturday at Trolley Square in Salt Lake City to celebrate Dia de los Muertos, Mexico’s Day of the Dead.
