The Day of the Dead altar, or ofrendas, is set up in tiers for the generations of the deceased and pictures are used to evoke their spirits. Candles are lit to show the spirits to the altar and back to the dead world. The flowers’ scents are believed to make the spirits feel welcome and happy as they return. Salt is added as a purifier element while candy is set out to treat the children’s souls. The candy skulls represent the death and every moment after. (Photo by Ayoung Lee)<\/p><\/div>\n
