===An Alter or (ofrenda) is something that is done in most villages, in each individual house. They are decorated with many things such as buckets of flowers, lots of candles, wild marigolds, bright red cock's combs, mounds of fruit, peanuts, plates of turkey mole, stacks of tortillas and big Day of the Dead breads called //pan de muerto.// Soda, lots of food, hot cocoa, and water for weary spirits are also placed on the alter. Finally skeletons and sugar skulls make the final touches.===



No display is ever complete without them.
