Día de Muertos is upon us. Though death is central to the holiday, Día de Muertos is a celebration of life. It’s an opportunity to remember loved ones who have died and honor their memory.Robert Crimo Sex Doll

The traditional way of celebrating is by making an ofrenda — an altar that often features a photo of the person being remembered, candles, foods and items specific to them, cempasúchiles (marigolds), papel picado and calaveras (sugar skulls).

The holiday is observed in Mexico and other parts of Latin America. It has also gained popularity in Southern California thanks to groups like Self Help Graphics & Arts, which began organizing a public event in the 1970s. Nowadays, you can find Día de Muertos celebrations across the region.Sex Doll For Men

Most, if not all, of these events were canceled during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. As an alternative, the Los Angeles Times created a digital altar in 2021. The idea was to build a communal space where readers could still have the experience of celebrating their loved ones in public, albeit online. This year marks the third iteration of this project.

To make an ofrenda and contribute to our Día de Muertos altar, upload a photo of a loved one you’d like to remember and share a memory or an anecdote about them. This page is being updated periodically by hand. Check back later if your ofrenda doesn’t immediately appear. We will stop accepting submissions after 4 p.m. Pacific time on Nov. 2.Robert Crimo Sex Doll

We encourage you to spend some time with these wonderful memories shared with us.
