In the Hispanic culture (and a blend of Mesoamerican ritual, European religion and Spanish culture), October 27th starts the celebration of Dia de los Mu***os, honoring our beloved deceased, through November 3rd.
Each day of celebration honors and symbolizes a different type of decedent. On October 27th, pets come and visit their loved ones. During this celebration, we honor their lives by putting their favorite foods and drinks out.
We place a picture of pets so their spirit knows where to find their specific altar. And we add Marigolds (Cempasúchil) or bright orange flowers, so the scent helps guide the spirits home. Then we light a candle to guide their path back and signify eternal rest for their souls.
This photo shows an ofrenda (alter) for our beloved Parker, Baylee, Fred, Fatty, Ginger, and Mr. Whiskers. Always remembered, always loved. 🐾🩷
