I’m a 13 year old girl, my mom passed when I was 9 and she was hispanic. I always felt like I was going to intrude on a culture that isn’t exactly mine so I have never made and ofrenda. But recently my dad has remarried and I felt like I wanted to be closer or at least recognize my mom in a way so I’m going to make her an altar in my room.
I’m Mexican but from Texas, so we didn’t celebrate most Mexican traditions as we should’ve growing up.. thanks for educating, I plan to celebrate from this year on & pass the traditions on to my kids 🧡
its never too late. I'm 23 and my family just started making ofrendas after years of living in Texas because a lot of our family passed away this past year.
Also Mexican from Texas. This is such a common story for Tejanos. Our families faced a lot of identity struggles that we can never fully understand. Don't feel alone in this. Our family practiced some traditions, and lost others. But the great thing is, we are in a time where we can be proud of and honor our traditions. Now is the time to learn from one another and reconnect with our old ways. Thinking about doing a community ofrenda for Dia de muertos in my hometown. Make it a neighborhood thing.
I’m not Mexican. I’m Asian but my partner is Mexican. He lost his mom 2 years ago and this year we want to honor her in our home. Thanks to the movie coco, I learned so much about this beautiful tradition. Thank you for also putting out this video. This gave me the inspiration I needed and I will ensure I properly honor every element of the ofrenda for his mom. 🙏🏻
I’ve always been so connected with this part of Mexican heritage but I grew up catholic so we never participated. I’m an adult with my own home so now I’m finally looking into properly making an ofrenda for my family. ❤
My parents never talked to me about ofrendas and noone makes them in my family and Im mexican american. I never been to mexico I was born in America. I been wanting to make a oftenda for years but didnt know much about it until I saw your video today. Now I want to make one and carry on the tradition so my daughter can learn also :)
You definitely should!! It’s such a beautiful tradition. I hope that by the time I’m no longer here, my babies will feel closer to me by putting up an ofrenda and continuing the tradition 🥺🧡
Last night as I watched this, the stories you shared about your grandpa made me smile and it made me long for my grandpa. When I went to bed I dreamt that I made an ofrenda (which i have never made by the way 😄) and in my dream he came back. I could see his face and even his eyes so clearly (which is very rare in dreams.) It’s the first time i’ve ever dreamt of him since he passed 4 years ago. I just thought I’d come back here and say thank you. 🙏🏻
I'm puertorican and we celebrate Día de los Muertos visiting the cemetery and placing flowers on their relatives graves. I love how people celebrate this tradition in Mexico.
Annette Rivera, you are correct! All around the world, the "time of the dead" is observed from 31st Oct (All Hallows Eve) till Nov 2nd (All Souls Day), with Nov 1st being All Saints day. While many cultures have their unique names & ways of celebrating, this seems to be a worldwide observance.. especially in the parts of the world where it was introduced by the Catholic church from the 11th century. P.S. Even my Venezuelan grandparents celebrated with graveside offerings. My parents no longer observe it, but each culture has their unique way of observing.
I'm a college student running a minority student coalition and I've been looking for ways to bring dia de los muertos to the campus for students who celebrate. This video helped me so much with ideas and educating myself about the holiday. Thank you!
Your ofrenda looks so beautiful! I am not Mexican but I love this tradition and I am definitely putting up an altar this year. Unfortunately, I can't find cempasúchil in the UK, so I will have to make them with orange tissue paper. I also made a pan de muerto las year and it was delicious! It was hard to make though, it took me a whole day!! worth it :-)
I cried this whole entire video because I so very desperately want my dad to come back… I’d do anything to feel him close and this is the absolute most beautiful tradition in the world ❤
This is such a beautiful tradition ❤️ I am not Mexican but I would love to make an ofrenda in honour of my ancestors. Thank you for sharing. Your altar looks perfect 🥰
i haven’t celebrated Dia de los muertos in years since i’ve been so busy with being newly married and moving from the US to Belgium. this is the first year that i’ll be able to make my own ofrenda and not only was your video super helpful but it was super comforting
I'm one generation removed from my Hispanic culture and I felt so incredibly validated and seen when you mentioned not needing to be Mexican to celebrate. Although I'm technically Mexican by ethnicity, I wasn't raised in the culture and missed a lot of the traditions. My mom made her own rendition of the ofrenda and I want to make my own now that I'm moved out and in my own apartment. Thank you for sharing yours and I'll be doing more research while I plan. Happy fall!!! 🍂🏵💛
I am not Mexican, but would like to honor my departed family members. Thank you so much for sharing your family traditions. Blessings, Health, Prosperity and Peace to you and yours and to all who read this! 👍💀😇💖
Your altar looks so beautiful!! Here in Brazil we commonly go to the cemetery and take flowers and candles to the graves of our relatives, those who cannot light candles at home
Wow this is beautiful 😍 I just the movie “coco” and it was such an amazing movie! I love the Mexican tradition and how you honour your loved one. Makes me feel like a proud Mexican (even though I’m African lol) Love and peace xx
we never celebrated day of the dead even though i'm biracial and since my mother passed away we decided that she would have loved this tradition. she was white but adored day of the dead decorations and hispanic culture. we didn't know where to start and i'm so happy to say that we are going to!! thank you so much for giving us this to go off of!
I remember celebrating All Souls Day in the Philippines. My boyfriend and I were in Old Town in San Diego a few days ago. I was so inspired to make something for my mom... Your ofrenda looks so beautiful!! 🧡🥰🥀🍞
Que hermoso video, no hay que dejar morir nuestras tradiciones y mas una celebración tan bonita como esta. Me encantan todos tus videos, saludos de la Ciudad de México.
I lost three of my grandparents within the last year. In my high school Spanish classes we studied Dia de los Muertos and celebrated in class. I felt inspired to do something this year. Thank you so much for this video.
Me encanto tu altar y que sigas esta tradición y que se respete este día de los muertos y pedir a Dios por todos los que se nos an adelantado té felicitó y gracias por tu explicación
Lovely ofrenda! Love that you share about you abuelo. My father passed 21 years ago on Nov. 2nd and the Day of the Dead is that more meaningful to me and my Mexican Family.
This is absolutely gorgeous. I'm not Mexican but I'm so interested in this tradition. On Nov 2nd I can't wait to make Mexican hot chocolate and watch Coco 🧡
I'm not latina but since losing my father 4 years ago, I celebrate every year. Setting up the ofrenda makes me feel so connected to them and I feel proud to honor them for the day. Dio de los muertos (Nov 1st) is also my birthday, coincidentally.
I'm English and Filipino and since I was just 3 months old ( I was born in August) I celebrated dia de los muertos we would set up pictures, dress up, make all our loved ones favorite foods ❤ and then we would go to the cematary I've ways celebrated it but I make sure to pay extra attention now since I'm 11. ❤ I celebrate it to remember the people in my familìa but I also xelabrate it for a very special person * drumroll please * my madré when I was 9 she passed away and so ive always made it a point so mame it as perfect as I can mame it I kniw she'd be proud of me and I miss her every day 😔 but I kniw she wouldn't want me to be sad and she would instead want me to celebrate all the great years she's lived she was a great mother ♡♡
Me encanta poner las ofrendas siempre ponen pan de muerto y dulces y en la noche cuando todos duermen bajo a comerme el mole con pollo y la coca jejejejejeje 😎👍🏻 solo una vez sentí q me tocaron la mano y escuché “eso es mío Andrea ” y me asusté y no me puede comer el mole con pollo :(
What a beautiful tradition. The Pan de Muerto looks delicious. You did a wonderful job with the decorations. I think Day of the Dead celebration is a good substitute for celebrating Halloween since a lot of people are opposed to celebrating Halloween for religious purposes.
I love this! I’ve always wanted to honor my late mother with my kids and was never sure how, but this would be so special for us to do! Where did you find your marigold/bead garland?
My boyfriend is Mexican and we have been talking about putting up one for years and I think this year I’m gonna set one up for us as a surprise for him.
Thanks for this! Many dead relatives these past few years. I wanted to do this, but it's a little late in the game being it's the second I also want to do a little more research to get it right. I will definitely be doing it next year! Thanks!
En República Dominicana también guardamos el día de los Difuntos, 2 de noviembre. Normalmente la gente va al cementerio durante el día, lleva flores y velas, y oran por las almas de los que ya partieron de este plano físico. También se celebran misas especiales en las iglesias católicas. Me gusta mucho esa tradición de México de celebrar estos días con comida especial, altar, desfiles, reuniones familiares, Etc. Muy bonito.
we also have such tradition in the Philippines, we visit our loved ones at cemetery and it is done every 1st of November. we were once under Spanish colonization that is why I think we have the same tradition.
I am a Spanish language student and my exams include this topic in literature paper and thanks a lot to this great video of yours which helped me understand every little detail about this festival in very short time. Keep the good work going, much love from INDIA🇮🇳
Over the past three weeks I have been on medical leave and have spent a lot of time watching your videos. Your lovely voice and aesthetic have helped me greatly during my recovery and have made my otherwise boring days warm, relaxing, and comfortable. Thank you so much! Congratulations on having such a great family and creating such a beautiful home! I look forward to seeing more of your content throughout the holidays.
Wow! Very beautiful. Me encanto mucho! I also love the music you played throughout the video and the song from Coco at the end! Thank you for sharing! Oh and the story about your grandfather and his candy; love it!
I was just watching this with my daughter & said “we should do this next year. But idk, we’re not Mexican.” Then you said “you don’t need to be Mexican” I think it’s a beautiful holiday. 🧡
I’m Cuban and we celebrate El Dia de Los Fieles Difuntos from November 1-2. Más común para nosotros vamos al cementerio los cuales en esta fecha tienen extended open hours and ponemos flores y nos sentamos a hablar con nuestros muerticos. A los niños les decimos ahí descansaban los que de cierta forma an contribuido a que nacieras. We light tons of candles and tomamos cafecitos y ron y después de las 12 marchamos a casa. ♥️ un beso.
I will be making my first of dia de muertos at home with my family this year and am so excited! I loved your video and got lots of great ideas. Question- how did you make the flower garland you hung on the wall? I would like to make something similar. Thank you!
¡Hola! 🌼I made my first ofrenda last year. My Mom added a few things, helped with the Pan Dulce we made from scratch (grew up with it), etc. I did my best & had been collecting things to make an “ancestor altar” for a while leading up to it. I’m so glad to have found your video! Your ofrenda is gorgeous! I love the simplicity & how closely you honored the correspondences that go along with this very special holiday. ***TLDR: Question! What do you do with the offerings afterwards? I felt conflicted. The food & drink were for them, but I didn’t feel right tossing & dumping everything (Mexican pagan/bruja). What would you recommend? My main concern in this situation is being respectful, & honoring my ancestors (& passed loved ones in general). TIA 🤍🖤💀
I love this tradition so much. You did such a beautiful job and I love seeing different traditions brought out around this time of the year. My family loves the movie coco, we named our dog after the dog in that movie bc we are obsessed and it’s so cool to see something like this.
Esto es hermoso!! Soy puertorriqueña 🇵🇷 y no seguimos esta hermosa tradición pero como a muchos boricuas a mi sí me gustaría ☺️ En mi país encendemos velas 🕯 una por cada difunto q queremos recordar, eso hacía mi abuelita. El año q viene voy a intentar hacer un altar como el tuyo tan bello para mi papá q falleció hace solo 6 meses 😔. Un abrazo enorme ❤️

You don’t intrude, I’m sure your mom would appreciate that.
❤how did it turn out? You are not intruding. I’m sorry about your mom’s passing.
You can never intrude! You’re one of us
I hope you made it ❤
your mom was Latina, baby girl you are Latina. Look up the Jenna Ortega interview, "you are Latina ENOUGH".
I’m Mexican but from Texas, so we didn’t celebrate most Mexican traditions as we should’ve growing up.. thanks for educating, I plan to celebrate from this year on & pass the traditions on to my kids 🧡

Yes Dia de los Muertos is a Mexican tradition that roots back to the Aztecs.

They’re just marigolds.

I honor my dead folks every Sunday ❤. it’s so beautiful how traditions flow between different cultures in different ways. Happy Dia de los Muertos

Me encanto , muy sobria y a tu estilo . Pero no pierde la esencia de un altar de Día de muertos 🥰
This is so beautiful and I feel inspired to come back to my indigenous mexican roots and set up an ofrenda this way 😊✨🧡
This was so beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing. ❤
I loved the Coco theme song at the end.. beautiful ofrenda🏵️
Thank you so much for sharing this! This is very informative for students learning about Mexico in Spanish class.
Your grandpa reminds me of my grandma with her beans and candy that she was always eating. I’m celebrating her this year she passed early 2023

Thank you so much for sharing your traditions with us. I might create my own offrenda ❤️
I’m partially Latino on my moms side, and I’ve always been interested in celebrating but never looked into it. I might do one this year, thanks!
Saludos desde Georgia! 😄can’t wait to put my altar
I enjoyed your video. It brought back many good memories and lots of smiles. Be blessed.
This was educational & enjoyable on every level level! 👊🏽
Ending w/ that song is the icing on the cake imo.
I love ur ofrenda! Those serving dishes are beautiful too!
So beautiful! I’m not Mexican but I will be doing this from now on. I found some beautiful decorations to use :)
