Elaboration Of Retablos And Papel Picado On The Eve Of The Day Of The Dead In Mexico

View of paper used to make retablos and papel picado by Pedro Ortega Lozano, master craftsman and native of the Tláhuac municipality in Mexico City. Papel picado is a very important element for the Day of the Dead (1 and 2 November), as it is a fundamental adornment on the altars, where it plays not only a decorative role but also a symbolic role, since, according to the belief, it helps the souls of the dead to be routed and feel happy and content when they return to eat all that their relatives have prepared for them in the ofrendas.
