Calaveras (skulls) are probably the most recognizable emblems of the Day of the Dead. Calaveras are whimsical caricatures-most commonly drawings- of skulls or skeletons. In most cases, calaveras are depicted in humorous settings, often in scenes depicting traditional activities.
Like Calaveras, Calacas are mischievous renditions of skeletal firgures. Calacas include paper mache skull masks and figurines of popular calaveras, such as Catrina.
A common rendition of the Calaveras come in the form of sugar skulls, decorated confections of sugar and egg whites which are exchanged as gifts or incorporated intooffrendas.
Perhaps the most serious emblem of the holiday is the Offrenda, an altar honoring the dead.
Papel picado literally means “perforated paper,” and refers to the lacy, elaborate pierced tissue decorations popular during the holiday.
Merigolds are also important in the Days of the Dead because they represent death and decorate the graves of your loved ones.

During the Days of the dead offerings are given to the souls to draw them home and give them refreshments after a long jurney back to the land of the living. For example if a child had died you would leave toys and candy or chocolate for them, or for your grandmother you would leave some of her favorite food or activities to do while she was living.
