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.

This is an advise to those who are searching for a cure to Herpes. I got genital herpes from my ex boyfriend who was sleeping around with different girls, such a shameless pig. I can’t believe this. A great testimony that i must share to all herpes patients in the world. I never believed that their could be any complete cure for herpes or any cure for herpes outbreaks, but the good news is that there is and it is very effective. Herpes is a serious and recurring disease which can’t be cured through drugs or injections by the medical doctors. The best way to deal with herpes is by using natural herbal medicines and specifically, natural herbal medicine produced by reliable and qualified herbal doctors like DR.WATER. Some medical doctors even know about these herbal medicines from DR.WATER, and they get it at a cheaper price from DR.WATER and sell it more expensive to their patients. I have read about DR.WATER, the great herbalist doctor from African, who can cure disease with his powerful herbal medicines. For those people suffering from the following diseases, Herpes, HIV, Cancer, Hepatitis, Diabetes, Hpv genital warts, different Infections and many more, you should please contact him for his herbal medicine because i am a living testimony and i was cured of herpes after using his herbal medicine. I contacted him directly with the whatsapp number that i will be leaving below, he sent me his medicine which i took for 2 weeks and since then, i have gone for a check up 3 times, and all i was tested herpes negative. you can reach him through his email: Drwaterhivcurecentre@gmail.com or Whatsapp: +2349050205019

I WAS CURED OF HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS BY DR WATER, THE GREAT HERBALIST. 🌿☘️
i am so happy to share this testimony with the world because generally there are so many doubts about the cure of HERPES simplex virus. This is real take it serious, my name is HENRIETTE AMUNAZO and i am so happy that today i can give this testimony to the world and also help people who has been condemned just as i was. Who will believe that a herb can cure HERPES completely from the body?, i never believed that this will work, i have spend a lot of money getting drugs from the hospital to supress outbreaks, it got to a time that all i was wanted was death to come because i was broke and i already have strong outbreaks from the herpes virus. One day i was going through the internet asking questions online just to know more about the latest development in the medical sector to see if there is still hope then i stumbled on a post about this great man called DR WATER through an online friend who publicly made a testimony on how she was also cured of herpes simplex virus 2 by this herbal doctor who is well known for his strong ancient herbal practice for HERPES, HIV, WARTS and CANCER cure. At first i doubted both the woman and the doctor just as so many that see’s this post would doubt because medically it has been proven impossible but later i decided to give him a try so i emailed him. I did not believe him that much, I just wanted to give him a try. He replied my mail and needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him, he prepared a herbal medicine (CURE) and sent it through Online Courier Service for delivery. He gave my details to the Courier Office. They told me that 3-5 days I will receive the package and after receiving it, i took the medicine as prescribed by him at the end of 13days that the medcine lasted, he told me to go to the hospital for a test, and i went, surprisingly after the test the doctor confirm me Herpes simplex virus free, i thought it was a joke, i went to other hospitals and was also confirmed herpes free, i will say it was like a miracle. I waited to see if i will get any outbreaks again and its been 2 months now, i have not experienced any outbreak. Thank you sir for saving my life even if you cannot see this post, i shall never stop testifying the impact you made in my life by restoring back my life when i was being stigmatized and even avoided by family and friends. I promise I will always testify of your good works. if you have herpes simplex virus, HIV patient, Diabetes, human papilloma virus or genital warts, contact him and I am sure you will get cured, contact him via:

My dad (Ernesto Bucoy) was having many health issues with one of them being, Stage 5 kidney failure. Dialysis was no longer an option but a necessity and a transplant was not just a cure but a life-saving option. At that time, Ernesto’s kidney function was at 11% and was still continuing to decrease. To explain this in terms that everyone will understand, this means your smart phone battery is on red with little battery life left and you are racing around trying to find your charger because you can’t remember where you left it last. If you keep messing around with your phone, the battery is going to continue to decrease (or die) if the charger is not found in time. This was the same scenario with my dad’s kidneys. In this case, the “charger” was a new kidney and without one, he will have to depend on a loaned “charger” called dialysis to keep his kidneys working. I went online searching for possible solutions, or even a kidney donor. We were too poor to start thinking of buying a kidney and also paying for the transplant, that was too much money already. Luckily for me, i came across a post online talking about the healing prowess of a gifted herbal healer in Africa (Dr.Water). I read through the article and saw his whatsapp number. I contacted him on whatsapp and told him about my dad’s condition, he requested for our medical reports, which took photos of, and send to him. A week later, he (Dr.Water) sent us some herbal medicines, promising that if we use them properly, my dad will regain his health. I did as he instructed, and a few days later we noticed tremendous improvements. We finished the treatment and just like that, my dad’s kidneys were completely revived. No surgery needed, no transplant and no dialysis. My dad is now healthy and perfectly fine. I choose to share this because i know i also benefited from someone else sharing their stories too. If you have any kidney disease, Kidney failure, kidney stones, kidney infection, HIV, hepatitis, warts, herpes, diabetes, asthma or any illness, Here is the Doctor’s whatsapp number: +2349050205019. And his email DRWATERHIVCURECENTRE@GMAIL.COM. This is my own little way of helping other sick people out there. I wish you good luck.
