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 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’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’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 🥺🧡
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!
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.
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 :-)
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 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!! 🧡🥰🥀🍞
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
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
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 :(
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?
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🇮🇳
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
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 ❤️
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.
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
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'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!!! 🍂🏵💛
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 🧡
fun fact: the cempasuchil (marigold) seeds are in the flower and look like sticks and can be harvested every year! it’s known as the one flower you’ll only buy once :)
Everything is so gorgeous. Can you share where you got your items from? I especially loved the wood bead garland (I want one ☺️) Also the papel picado is so nice.
This is so sweet. I've seen pictures of some of the cemetery ofrenda and they were rather garish, but yours is lovely and I love the way you explained all the elements. This is a tradition that even an Anglo like me can appreciate and adopt. Thank you!
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.
Could you tell us more about the meanings. I want to do an altar but I did not know about the candle color, salt and the levels. Where can we find that about the meanings?
Where did you get that bread ? I like that is wrapped because I currently have ants coming in to our home so they are like everywhere if they smell any food 😩
I’m Mexican but I was adopted and raised in LA but I’ve never celebrated day of the dead despite always wanting to. I want to celebrate this year but would it be disrespectful or is it ok? The rest of my family isn’t Hispanic but I want to celebrate but I’m just wondering if it would be disrespectful? Would love some advice, thank you!
You still have Mexico running through your veins, so obviously yes you can. It's a beautiful way to connect to your Mexican roots- from another fellow Mexican🇲🇽
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! 👍💀😇💖
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.
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 ♡♡
My PawPaw also had a secret love affair with candy haha. Bittersweet story, when he passed away we were all in the ER room standing around him. When it was time to leave, we went to move the pants he wore when he was rushed in. When we picked them up, a handful of peanut m&ms and a pack of cigarettes fell out of his pockets, both of which he was hiding from my grandma. We all laughed and then cried harder. I have a daughter now who is 20 months old and have decided that we will be making an ofrenda this year. We want to teach her about different cultures and I think this would be a beautiful way to start that off ❤
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 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. 🧡
Every year during dia de los muertos my tía sets up a huge altar for everybody in our family that have passed away on my mom’s side my great grandmother recently passed away within the past 4 years she used to visit every summer from Mexico and used to make the family amazing food and I miss her everyday but every year we put up her picture along with the rest of the family :) ❤️
Never said it’s only celebrated by just Mexicans! I am sharing how we celebrate it therefore the title “day of the dead altar/ofrenda” or best known as dia de los muertos 🙂
So i was wondering if u have any knowledge on a necklaces that was found with bows and beads and a skeleton hanging from a heart with a yellow ribbon whereing pink shoes and a bow represent anything in particular?
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.
I have a question do I need to make 7 levels or can I make 2 or 3. And what level does our loved ones picture go on, and what is the level made of like a table and then like a big cardboard box or a box to put stuff on the Ofrenda
You forgot the papel picado wich symbolizes the wind also it is said when the pole picado moves it’s because the spirit of the dead person is there so it is very important when making a ofrenda
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!
The marigolds, I just search on Facebook Marketplace for “cempasuchil” and you’ll find farmers that sell it. And pan de muerto you can find at most Mexican grocery stores!
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’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.
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".

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

You have no idea how happy this makes me! It’s so fulfilling to see our traditions being shared in other countries. Sending love to the UK!! 🧡✨
so beautiful that you’re following this tradition 🥺
They’re just marigolds.
Amazon!
Go to a Chinese market.
It looks so beautiful ♡
I am going to try to make my 1st one this year. I am half mexican and trying to connect with our culture more
That’s wonderful!

thank you for educating, I absolutely have loved the concept of dia de Los muertos since I learned about it as a child. beautiful tradition 🧡💛

I am Mexican and I don't like many things about our culture. But this is one of the traditions I will teach my son.
What are the things you don’t like about being Mexican? You should love your heritage and yourself! Always!

ANYONE can celebrate dia de los muertos as long as you are being respectful☺🧡💛
Thank you so much for sharing this! This is very informative for students learning about Mexico in Spanish class.
You did a great job!
I loved the Coco theme song at the end.. beautiful ofrenda🏵️
I would love to make an ofrenda, but my parents won’t let me. I’ll do it when I get my own apartment
Nice! What do you do with the food after? Since its sitting out for 3 days, do you still eat it?

Hello. Where did you get the black skulls from?
This is so beautiful 🤍 thank you for sharing
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.
Not sure if anyone has asked, but how do you keep your cat away? I have 2 cats. One is fine but the calico gets into everything.
I love this !! My parents does this as well! 🧡
Precioso ❤️
This is so beautiful, thank you for sharing! Do you have links for the black sugar skulls? I love how simple and elegant they are 🥰💜
Thank you! They’re actually ceramic skulls from Oaxaca so I don’t have a link, sorry!!
That's so special, they are gorgeous! Really beautiful, thank you for sharing this and for the reply!
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. 🧡
Can u please explain to me the 10 ofrends an what they mean (represent) ?
So pretty! Where did you get the papel picado that you have on your thumbnail for this video?
Every year during dia de los muertos my tía sets up a huge altar for everybody in our family that have passed away on my mom’s side
my great grandmother recently passed away within the past 4 years she used to visit every summer from Mexico and used to make the family amazing food and I miss her everyday but every year we put up her picture along with the rest of the family :) ❤️
Anyone else take an interest in ofrenda after playing Cyberpunk 2077?
It is definitely not a tradition that is solely celebrated by Mexicans. Africans have done this for centuries
Never said it’s only celebrated by just Mexicans! I am sharing how we celebrate it therefore the title “day of the dead altar/ofrenda” or best known as dia de los muertos 🙂
Indigenous people have as well always have homage to their elders and honored those who have crossed over!
So i was wondering if u have any knowledge on a necklaces that was found with bows and beads and a skeleton hanging from a heart with a yellow ribbon whereing pink shoes and a bow represent anything in particular?
Doesn’t it start the 27th? That’s the day Pets come so that would technically be the first day?
What is the song in the beginning? I don't believe its Proud Corazon by Anthony Gonzalez. It sounds like something else. I love it
did you make the arch? what does it cosist of??
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.

My town is hosting a dia de los muertos at the local museum we have a large mexican community. Im thinking of going.
Where are those black skulls from?
I’m not mexican but I love this tradition and want to do it for loved ones as well, is it offensive to other cultures to celebrate??
I love ur ofrenda! Those serving dishes are beautiful too!
The salt is so that the spirit stays together and not decompose in its journey, as well as quench their thirst. Electrolytes ♡♡♡
Where did you get the marigolds and the pan de muerto. Been looking everywhere for it over the last few yrs and can never find any 😔
The marigolds, I just search on Facebook Marketplace for “cempasuchil” and you’ll find farmers that sell it. And pan de muerto you can find at most Mexican grocery stores!
Where did you get the cempasuchitl garland? Did you make it
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!
Where did you get the paper picado in those colors?

So pretty 😍 I’m doing one this year for my family members that have passed on .Where did you get the bead garland with the Marigolds ?
I actually made it myself! I cut the flowers stem off, bought the beads at Michaels and strung it together with thread! 🧡✨
Where did you get the papel picado in the thumbnail?!
