"We come only to sleep, only to dream,
It is not true, it is not true that we come to live on this earth,
We become as spring weeds, we grow green and open the petals of our hearts,
Our body is a plant in flower, it gives flowers and it dies away."
— Netzahualcoyotl
Thank you Sabrina. I liked this very much. The offerings are that which the individual(s) enjoyed on the earth, I suppose. You are so connected to your ancestors (madre padre) and blessed.
ReplyDeleteInteresting read, never knew they had ofrenda on the Day of the dead. What else you do, as a custom to this tradition?
