Salvation Army

People often decorate their altar (ofrenda) with paper cutouts (papél picado), photos, traditional bread (pan de muertos), flowers (especially marigolds or cempasuchitl which were sacred to the Atecs), sugar skulls (calaveritas de ázucar) and other items that their loved ones enjoyed during life. Celebrants do not worship these altars; they are offerings in honor of their deceased loved ones.
