How to make an ofrenda for Día de Muertos

An altar for Gabriel Garcia Marquez and his wife Mercedes Barcha, is set up in the studio of their home in Mexico City, Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2021. Day of the Dead, or Dia de Los Muertos, the annual Mexican tradition of reminiscing about departed loved ones with colorful altars, or ofrendas, is celebrated annually Nov. 1. Garcia Marquez died on April 17, 2014 and Mercedes died on Aug. 15, 2020.

Día de Muertos is a Mexican holiday that commemorates loved ones who have died. It is believed their spirits return to their families, who put up ofrendas, or altars, on Nov. 1.
