Description

Thank you for stopping by. I really appreciate all your comments and views on the this series and all my last posts. One of the key elements of Dia De Los Muertos revolves around ofrendas, or offerings, which are created through a visual display of altar-making and grave decorating. The offerings, a main focal point of the observance, echo the dedication and distinct love that is presented toward the dearly departed. Altars can be created through a wide spectrum of dedications, depending on one's creative desire. The altar includes the four main elements of nature - Earth, Wind, Water and Fire.
