Honoring Our Loved Ones
A Día de los Muertos altar celebrates memory, not mourning. Each photo tells a story of family, strength, and love that still guides us.
Marigolds mark the path home. Candles light the way. Bread, fruit, and sugar skulls remind us that life and death are part of the same circle.
Building an altar is an act of love. You gather what they cherished, pause, and feel their presence again.
Grief becomes gratitude. Memory becomes celebration.
If you want to create your own altar:
1. Choose a quiet place in your home.
2. Add photos of loved ones who have passed.
3. Place candles, flowers, and perhaps some food or drink they enjoyed.
4. Include something personal such as music, a book, or a small gift.
5. Sit for a moment and remember them with love.
The purpose is not perfection but connection.
