🕯️ A place for remembrance, love and prayer. 🕊️
This year, I created an Ofrenda for Día de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead), adding a little Italian and Catholic tradition of my own.
Displayed are photographs of our beloved Nonno and Nonna, my husband's mother, and his Nonnas. Each one holds a special place in our family and in our hearts.
While the tradition of the Ofrenda comes from Mexican culture, I wanted to honour its beautiful message of remembering those who have gone before us, while incorporating the Catholic faith that is so important to me.
For us, remembering our loved ones is also about prayer. We believe in the communion of saints, the eternal love of God, and the hope of being reunited one day in His heavenly kingdom.
Today, we remember them with gratitude, light a candle, say a prayer, and give thanks for the lives they lived and the love they left behind.
May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. 🤍
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. 🕯️
