All Saints Sunday at New England Congregational Church in Aurora looked a little different November. 2.
In addition to the tradition of reading names of reading names and ringing a bell for passed loved ones, a Dia de los Muertos altar, called an ofrenda, was built.
Congregants were invited to display candles, framed photos and treasured keepsakes of deceased loved ones on the ofrenda. The altar was built before worship.
Day of the Dead is traditionally celebrated November 1-2 in Mexico and across Latin America with building of ofrendas.
