Marigolds - Cempazuchitl & Dia De Los Muertos

Marigolds - Cempazuchitl & Dia De Los Muertos

Every year the ofrenda is made in preparation for Día de los Muertos, or Day of theDead. This is a multi-day holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and parts of Latin America that honors loved ones who have died.

The creation of altars has been an important part of Día de los Muertos, a festival whose origins derived from the rituals of the pre-Hispanic peoples of Mexico. This holiday is deeply rooted in Aztec beliefs and tied to the goddess Mictecacihuatl, also known as the “Lady of the Dead.”After the Spanish invaded Mexico, the celebration became more intertwined with Catholic traditions and shortened from a month-long event.

The celebration is now held on November 1 and 2 which are the Catholic Holiday’s, All Saints’ and All Souls’ Day.Marigolds served as important ceremonial flowers for the Aztecs, where they had been associated with human sacrifices and the beautiful, mystical world of the afterlife.

The marigold most commonly used in Dia de los Muertos celebrations is the, cempasuchitl, or more commonly known as the Mexican or Aztec marigold or flower of the dead.Mexican marigolds are the tallest variety, reaching up to 3′ and bears big, pom-pom flowers.

 It is believed that the spirits of the dead visit the living during the celebration. Marigolds help guide the spirits to their altars using their vibrant colors and scent, along withClusters of freshly picked marigolds are intermingled with burning incense made of the resin of the copal tree and a bell, whose scent and sound are intended to draw in souls.

Marigolds, or flowers in general, also represent the fragility of life. While many people might view death as a time filled with sadness and grief, for the people who celebrate this tradition, it is actually a moment for celebration. These brightly colored blooms give a beautiful display all summer up through frost, making them ideal for gardens, borders and containers.

In Mexico, marigolds are also used incorporated in medicinal teas since they have a diuretic effect. This tea relieves indigestion, heartburn and other kidney diseases. Also, marigolds are used in baths and hot compresses of warmed petals for alleviating rheumatism. 

Marigolds are a versatile flower, used ornamentally, in herbal medicines, and in celebrations like Dia de Los Muertos! And don’t forget––they’re a fantastic choice for bouquets, adding a pop of color and festive vibe to the arrangements of the season.

    A man on LinkedIn claimed he was running a highly profitable Bitcoin Mining operation. His profile looked legitimate complete with years of experience in blockchain technology glowing endorsements and professional photos of what appeared to be large Mining rigs. To make his pitch even more convincing, he showed screenshots of past payouts to supposed investors, each one reflecting consistent monthly returns. At the time I was looking for a safe way to diversify my income so his story drew me in quickly. After several conversations he promised me steady guaranteed returns if I invested directly into his mining pool. They spoke confidently, provided a clear timeline of expected profits and even offered to guide me through the transfer process. Feeling reassured by the proof he showed and his professional demeanor I decided to commit. I transferred 12000 believing I had found a reliable source of passive income. For the first two weeks he remained in contact reassuring me that my investment was working and that my first payout would arrive soon. But as weeks turned into months no payment came. When I tried to reach him my messages went unanswered. Soon after his LinkedIn account was deleted. That was when reality hit me I had been scammed. My hard earned money had seemingly disappeared into the void of the blockchain. At that moment GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE became my only hope.

Once this was discovered GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE immediately acted with the exchange to freeze the accounts. Their persistence and technical knowledge stopped the scammer from withdrawing my funds. Within only one month GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE successfully recovered my full 12000 and returned it to me. The relief I felt was overwhelming.

    I highly recommend anyone out there with herpes that it is curable. After years of trial and failed attempt Dr. chalopa did it in 2 weeks. I wonder if there are other ways to say thank you than to share a quick note on how he cured my Herpes virus a year and some months ago. I was totally surprised when I went for medical report and seeing that I was totally free from the virus, it’s made me speechless and with so much joy. However, he also treat other illnesses.
