Protected by the goddess Mictecacihuatl, these souls would return to earth to visit their living relatives during a festival dedicated to her honor. This custom lives on today as el Dia de los Muertos. Between October 31st and November 2nd, families make ofrendas, or offerings, to their ancestors, that include the four elements; water, wind, earth and fire. They decorate the graves of their loved ones with the Aztec marigold, hoping that its vibrant color and aromatic scent will guide the spirits back to our world. Monarch butterflies are said to contain the souls of the departed during the three-day fiesta. Filled with pan de muertos, atole, champurrado, pinatas, and the iconic Calavera Catrina, el Dia de los Muertos celebrates the lives of the deceased and encourages participants to recognize death as a natural part of the human experience.\n
