Día de los Muertos ofrenda (set-up) | Foyer of Our Lady’s Chapel / Admin. Building

Every culture has unique traditions that honor their departed loved ones. Nov. 2 (All Souls Day) is when we typically remember our deceased family and friends. At the University of the Incarnate Word, we continue the Mexican tradition on “the Day of the Dead” of providing an ofrenda or “altarcito” – a special place of prayer to remember and share memories of our departed family and friends. Although separated by death, we rejoice knowing that our baptism unites us and we look forward to the resurrection when we shall be together again. Our ofrenda will be set up on October 23rd. We invite you to bring a picture of your loved one with your name and contact info on the back so that it may be returned to you.
