Giant kites soared over cemeteries in Guatemala City for the first All Saints Day since UNESCO recognized the centuries-old craft, per Latin Times.

The tradition links sky and earth during the Day of the Dead celebrations, with the kites symbolizing a bridge between the living and the dead, according to Bangkok Post.

Meanwhile, Guatemala's army aircraft violated Belizean airspace on Tuesday, reports Amandala.com.bz, raising diplomatic tensions in the region.
