Some history: the floral candles from Oaxaca are an essential element of the ofrenda, or altar, created to honor deceased relatives during the annual Día de los Muertos celebration on November 1st each year. The candles serve as a beacon of light and remembrance, guiding spirits back to the world of the living for a visit.

The flame represents the element of fire and a beacon of hope and faith for the journey.
