How to fill out dia de los muertos

How to fill out Dia de los Muertos:

1. Start by gathering traditional decorations such as marigold flowers, sugar skulls, and candles. These items are essential for creating an authentic Dia de los Muertos altar or ofrenda.
2. Set up the altar in a special area in your home or at a loved one's grave. The altar should include photos of deceased family members or friends, favorite foods and drinks, as well as personal mementos and belongings.
3. Add layers to the altar, starting with a white tablecloth as a symbol of purity, followed by papel picado (colorful tissue paper cutouts) and decorative fruits like oranges or apples. These elements are believed to attract spirits to the altar and provide them nourishment.
4. Place water, salt, and pan de muerto (a special bread) on the altar. Water serves as a source of refreshment for the spirits, while salt is meant to purify and protect them. Pan de muerto symbolizes the circle of life and death.
5. Light candles and burn copal incense to guide the spirits and create a welcoming atmosphere. The flickering flames and aromatic scent are believed to help the deceased find their way back home.
6. Offer your loved ones their favorite foods and drinks on the altar. This gesture is meant to honor and nourish their spirits during their visit. Typical offerings include tamales, mole, atole, tequila, and favorite snacks.
7. Spend time at the altar, sharing stories and memories of your departed loved ones. This is a time for reflection and celebration of their lives. You can also play their favorite music or engage in activities they enjoyed while they were alive.
8. Keep the altar up for multiple days, from October 31st to November 2nd, as this is the traditional period of Dia de los Muertos. During this time, it is believed that the spirits can freely visit and interact with their living relatives.
9. Finally, express gratitude and farewell to the spirits on November 2nd, when the celebration ends. You can do this by adding a final prayer or farewell message to the altar and cleaning up the offerings.
