Pictured is an ofrenda dedicated to all who died in the 2017 earthquake in Mexico. The image honors Antonio Cazabal Castro, a dancer, artist, and keeper of Mexican history. The three-tiered altar reflects the traditions of the state of Puebla. The first tier represents the earthly plane and contains the offering. The second tier represents the underworld, where the dead must make amends. The third tier represents the Mesoamerica belief of maximum divinity, the sun.
