Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Español: En México, la flor de cempasúchil se utiliza como decoración y ofrenda ritual en el Día de Muertos, así como en coronas y cruces para adornar sus tumbas. Es habitual utilizar los pétalos para marcar en el suelo el camino que deben seguir las almas de los difuntos hacia los altares domésticos levantados en su honor. Esto se debe a que tradicionalmente se decía que sus pétalos guardaban el calor del sol e iluminaban el camino de regreso a los difuntos. Los pétalos también se emplean para formar collares que simbolizan la bienaventuranza.
English: In Mexico, the cempasúchil flower is used as decoration and ritual offering on the Day of the Dead, as well as in crowns and crosses to decorate their graves. It is common to use the petals to mark on the ground the path that the souls of the deceased should follow towards the domestic altars erected in their honor. This is because its petals were traditionally said to keep the sun warm and illuminate the way back to the deceased. The petals are also used to form necklaces that symbolize bliss. |
