Así luce el manto de la Virgen de los Desamparados.
Un manto con mensaje de paz 🕊️💐El tapiz de flores muestra una escena protagonizada por dos figuras —una mujer y un niño— que aparecen de espaldas y avanzan juntos, rodeados de flores.
Sobre ellos, destaca la silueta de una paloma blanca, uno de los elementos más visibles desde las primeras horas de la Ofrenda.❣️El manto podrá contemplarse durante varios días una vez finalizada la Ofrenda.

My daughter made an altar to honor my late brother one day earlier this year, she was very fond of her uncle. Today, we converted it into an ofrenda and included my wife's grandparents who helped raise her. She's a quarter Mexican, her great grandparents were Mexican immigrants. We lit up some candles so they can find their way home tonight, and made offerings of some of their favorite things.

The little gremlin's ancestors may be dead, but boy, do they have an appetite! The little gremlin loves taking care of them, but he's also a bit grateful they only come to visit a for a couple of days once a year 😅🤣

Día de los Muertos is a combination of an Aztec tradition from 3,000 years ago and the Catholic tradition of honoring ancestors and loved ones that have passed away for All Souls Day.

Our little #ofrenda for #DiaDeMuertos 💀❤️🔥🇲🇽
Miss you, Uncle Don and Grandma Clarke!
-
That’s why instead of crying, we paint our face as calacas (skulls), we visit the tombs of our dead with mariachis, we dance and sing and wish each other a ¡Feliz Día de Muertos! (Happy day of the dead!)
I hope you enjoyed this little thread with my attempt to at least partially explain and describe a very rich and complex part of Mexican culture.
¡Feliz Día de Muertos! 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻

Whether you believe the dead come back to visit us or not, the Día de Muertos ofrenda is a beautiful tradition that helps us honor and keep alive the memory of our loved ones who are no longer among us. It’s also important to remember that it is not a sad and solemn occasion where we commemorate death. On the contrary, it’s a festive time to celebrate life and laugh at death in the face of our own mortality.

The road between the world of the dead and the living is dark difficult, so it’s very important to keep the candle burning all the time until November 2 at sundown to keep them safe on their journey.
At sundown the doors to the underworld close again for another year and the ofrenda is shared among the family and friends.

It is said the dead can only consume scents, so we try to make everything on the ofrenda as fragrant as possible, choosing fruits, sweets, liquors and spices with strong and pleasant odor.
In the tradition we follow the doors to the underworld open at 8pm on the 31st of October, so we try to have the ofrenda ready before that and light the candle and incense as the clock strikes 8.

9) Fruit, sweets and food for them to feast upon and be merry among us once more.
10) Their favorite drink for them to toast to their happy memories among us.
11) Their favorite food to show we still love and care for them.
12) Candy skulls with their names to let them know we still remember them.

-
5) Incense to mask the smell of decay and make them feel comfortable among us.
6) A path of flower petals (cempazúchitl, Mexican marigold) to guide them from the door to the ofrenda.
7) Flowers to remind them of the beauty and transience of life.
8) Skeletons reenacting scenes of daily life to remind them of the life they once had.

-
1) A candle to light their way and safety guide the souls on their way from Mictlán (the underworld) to the realm of the living.
2) Water to quench their thirst after their long journey.
3) Liquor to warm and comfort them from the cold of the underworld.
4) Salt to keep their flesh from rotting as they no longer belong among the living.

El 16 de Mayo forma parte de la historia de Vallecas, es la fecha en la que el fascismo asesinó a un hombre justo y coherente, a Don Amós Acero, el primer alcalde democrático de Vallecas, un maestro, socialista, ugetista, republicano, pero sobre todo el alcalde de las vallecanas/os.
Por ello, el próximo martes 16 de Mayo a las 19:00h en el Parque al que da nombre, sus vecinos/as, celebraremos su memoria, con el primer alcalde vallecano de Madrid, Juan Barranco, con la Secretaria General de UGT en Madrid, Marina Prieto y con Quique Villalobos, Presidente de la FRAVM, en un acto presentado por la ilustradora y directora Isabel Ruiz.
🗓️ Martes 16 de Mayo
