In this video, Judithe Hernández reflects on the cultural significance of Day of the Dead traditions in Mexico. She describes the creation of altars with offerings like pan dulce, fruit, and sugar skulls, honoring loved ones who have passed. Marigolds, with their vibrant yellow-orange color, are central to these altars, symbolizing the connection between life and death. Hernández explains that these customs, still practiced in small towns across Mexico, express a belief that death is not bitter, but part of a continued journey.
