Altares
Día de Muertos tradition is to create an Altar (shrine) dedicated to loved ones. The Altar offerings should include:
- Four elements of nature – earth, wind, water and fire.
- Cempazúchitl (Marigold) flowers and fruits represent earth
- Papel Picado represents wind
- Candles and Copal (incense) represent fire
- Photos, mementos, items representing their faith, to personalize
Altares take central stage as special remembrance, offer an opportunity to teach about the family traditions and welcome the souls we are honoring that day.
