An artist's ofrenda at El Mercado at Historic Market Square teaches visitors how to respectfully honor the traditions of Día de los Muertos.
Yolix Luna paints a folk art piece with acrylic paint in her puesto Muñecas at El Mercado inside the Historic Market Square.Cempasúchil flowers, a plate of salt and everlasting candles sit on tiers of tables at El Mercado at Historic Market Square. No photos show who the altar honors, but a hairbrush, perfume and pistachios symbolize and welcome Mexican artist Yolix Luna’s mother for Día de los Muertos.
In the first years of Luna’s ofrenda in the early 1990s, a plate of apples, oranges and pears, along with bread and cinnamon sticks in a small corner drew the attention of tourists, who curiously scanned the tables that made up the altar. They saw catrinas, alebrijes, and retablos— items some had never seen before.
“It has nothing to do with Halloween. … Since it’s around the same date, people think Día de los Muertos is Halloween and it’s not,” Calvillo Cerna said. “That’s the main part that should be separated.” “Our dead are welcomed with food, with an altar,” Luna said. That’s what she teaches students passing by on field trips and to tourists.
“Carlitos, that’s why I’ll continue to repeat, don’t forget me and remember me with great joy on Día De Muertos,” the grandmother says in the book.

And her art will always be colorful.
