Día de los muertos is a celebration from Mexico when families gather to honor the memory of deceased loved ones from Oct. 31st - Nov. 2nd.
Every year, we set up these beautiful altars to guide our loved ones home and we welcome them with offerings such as their favorite foods, water, even alcohol!
Cempasuchil:
Dia de los muertos is recognized by it’s beautiful yellow and orange hues of marigold flower, or also known as cempasuchil. The reason we use these flowers is because their strong scent and bright colors help guide the spirits to their altars.
Ofrenda Levels:
Ofrendas can be made of several levels. In this case I made mine of two that represent the the earth and the sky.
But the most common Is a 7 level ofrenda. The seven levels represent the seven destinations that a soul must cross to be able to rest eternally.
Typical foods:
As well as the deceased's favorite food, altars usually contain traditional Day of the Dead food items such as pan de muerto, pumpkins, sugar cane, jicama and oranges - seasonal foods.
Salt:
Salt is usually placed on a plate and stops the souls of the deceased from being corrupted by earthly temptations
