The Day of the Dead Altar: Preparing a Meaningful Ofrenda

by Daniela Lee on October 21, 2024

 

In Mexico, on November 1st and 2nd, we have a unique tradition when we remember loved ones that have passed, also known as Día de Muertos.

One of the most significant customs of this day is to build an "Altar de Muertos." The altar is filled with offerings, foods, beverages, and mementos of the departed. We can find these offerings in the schools, malls, restaurants, and usually at the homes of many Mexicans who want to preserve this tradition.

A traditional ofrenda require specific elements, and each one has a spiritual meaning.  

We have teamed up with Redfin to create an insightful article about this beautiful tradition.

This article covers the history of the Day of the Dead, its origins and significance, and tips on how to put together a meaningful ofrenda!
