DAY OF THE DEAD ALTARS Cameron H
2
Traditionally, every family in Mexico builds an Altar for their family or friends that have passed away. For my day of the dead project I made an altar for my grandparents. It isn't as good as other people in Mexico but I believe that it is nice.
3
The salt represents the continuance of life.
4
THE FRUIT REPRESENTS FOOD THAT THE SPIRITS CAN EAT AFTER THE LONG TRIP.
5
CANDLES ARE LIT TO WELCOME THE SPIRITS BACK TO THE WORLD.
6
THE WATER IS THERE BECAUSE THE SPIRITS ARE TIRED AFTER TRAVELING FROM TO OTHER SIDE TO OUR SIDE. THEY CAN THEN DRINK THE WATER AFTER THE LONG JOURNEY
7
TOILETRIES ARE THERE SO THAT THE SPIRITS CAN FRESHEN UP AFTER THEY REACH THE ALTAR, SO A HAIRBRUSH, A TOOTH BRUSH AND TOOTHPASTE ARE THERE SO THEY CAN FRESHEN UP.
8
THE GOLF BALL AND MATERIAL IS THERE BECAUSE MY GRANDPA LIKED TO GOLF AND MY GRANDMA LIKED TO SEW. THESE OBJECTS ARE MEMENTOS OF THEIR LIVES.
