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.]]> 2018-10-24 14:42:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cspru2035/7zd3wkup59yi/wish/296475881 cspru2035 https://padlet.com/cspru2035/7zd3wkup59yi/wish/296534982 2018-10-24 16:09:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cspru2035/7zd3wkup59yi/wish/296534982 cspru2035 https://padlet.com/cspru2035/7zd3wkup59yi/wish/296937665 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKjPHV3HEjY]]> 2018-10-25 13:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cspru2035/7zd3wkup59yi/wish/296937665 cspru2035 https://padlet.com/cspru2035/7zd3wkup59yi/wish/296980368 2018-10-25 14:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cspru2035/7zd3wkup59yi/wish/296980368 cspru2035 https://padlet.com/cspru2035/7zd3wkup59yi/wish/296980760 2018-10-25 14:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cspru2035/7zd3wkup59yi/wish/296980760 cspru2035 https://padlet.com/cspru2035/7zd3wkup59yi/wish/296981399 2018-10-25 14:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cspru2035/7zd3wkup59yi/wish/296981399 cspru2035 https://padlet.com/cspru2035/7zd3wkup59yi/wish/296983445 2018-10-25 14:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cspru2035/7zd3wkup59yi/wish/296983445
