Day of the Dead Altar (Ofrenda)

With the help of my husband, Jon Francisco, I was able to recreate the wooden structure that I remember crowned the graves in my childhood; he also helped me make the monumental candles, for which I am very grateful for his unconditional support.

The mural at the back of the altar for this event was created and designed by Mauro Carrera. Much of the offering was achieved thanks to the help of various volunteers, my family and the Mexican Cultural Center in Philadelphia, PA.
