The roots of Dia de Mu***os stretch back thousands of years to the Mesoamerican cultures of the Aztecs and Mayans, where it was believed that souls could return to visit their families. It has expanded to also recognize pets who have passed away. On October 27th, people create ofrendas (altars) for their pets, much like those for human souls. These altars often feature photos, favorite toys, and treats like biscuits or even a bowl of water, symbolizing comfort for their journey back to the living world.
You are welcome to place photos or other items on our ofrenda if you would like. It will be up through the end of the week.
