Dia de los Muertos Altar in Haiphong Temple Courtyard

by Wade Clarke

Soft overcast light fills the cool season morning inside a temple courtyard near Haiphong, where a Dia de los Muertos altar stands arranged with precision. White wax candles glow with steady flames atop a table draped in dark fabric. Bright orange marigold petals scatter across the surface, against the pale pink and white sugar skulls arranged in neat rows. Dust motes float visibly in the shafts of light that pierce the shaded space. The rough texture of the stone floor anchors the scene, while the smooth, glazed finish of the ceramic skulls reflects the diffused ambient glow. A shadow falls across the edge of the table, defining the boundary between the offering and the open courtyard.
