Mexican patriotic committee / El Comité patriótico Mexicano
Location of Ofrenda: 7752 W. Vernor Detroit, MI 48209
Mauro Cruz installed the ofrenda at this location. Our community ofrenda includes the four elements: water, wind, earth, and fire. Water is left in a pitcher so the spirits can quench their thirst. Papel picado, or traditional paper banners, represent the wind. Earth is represented by food, especially bread. Candles are often left in the form of a cross to represent the cardinal directions, so the spirits can find their way. It will have the common three levels, which represent heaven, earth, and the underworld. To prevent any hazardous situations the display will utilize battery-powered candles but will include a string of “plug-in” lights, and incense with the appropriate incense holder.
Ofrenda visitation is available from 10/15/24 through 11/4/24
