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
