<holidayfyi-glossary slug="ofrenda"></holidayfyi-glossary>An altar constructed in Mexican and Central American homes and public spaces for the Day of the Dead, laden with photographs, marigold flowers (cempasúchil), candles, food, and personal belongings of deceased loved ones. The ofrenda is believed to attract the souls of the dead back to the world of the living on November 1-2. It is a deeply personal expression of love and memory, recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
