Candlelit Day of the Dead Altar in Puebla Shrine
by Ruth Murillo
Warm orange flames from hundreds of small candles illuminate a wooden altar inside a shrine near Puebla. Polished wood surfaces reflect tiny, sharp highlights from the string lights and candle glow. Layers of depth recede into the distance where paper lanterns hang from the ceiling. Marigold petals scatter across the table, their vibrant orange tones matching the flickering light. Rough stone walls frame the space, absorbing some illumination while reflecting others. A silver tray rests near the front, its metal surface gleaming with a cool, steady reflection. The arrangement of offerings sits low on the table, showing grounded reverence. At the edge, a single wick trembles slightly, casting a dancing shadow against the rough plaster behind it.
