Museum of Northern Arizona to present: Day of the Dead Decoded: Ofrendas 101
Members of Flagstaff Nuestras Raíces took part in a Facebook Live presentation by the Museum of Northern Arizona on the steps needed to set up an altar / ofrenda at home.
Took the opportunity to set up a community altar in the museum’s former bookstore.
A centuries-old tradition, ofrendas are an integral aspect of Day of the Dead. Join members of Nuestras Raices for an interactive discussion of the origins of these ritual alters and the symbolism behind them.
The museum is planning to release the video of the presentation shortly. Click here to see the museum’s past videos.
The Museum of Northern Arizona is now open four days a week for a limited number of visitors. Advance tickets required, no walk-ins
