Day of the Dead altar created in Minnesota Capitol for 1st time
Day of the Dead altar created in Minnesota Capitol for 1st time
For the first time in state history, a Day of the Dead altar is standing in the Minnesota State Capitol to honor the Mexican holiday.
In partnership with Minnesota Council on Latino Affairs (MCLA) and (Neo) Muralismos de Mexico, artists Monica Vega and Flor Soto created the first-ever altar de muertos, or community altar, at the Capitol.
“It leaves you breathless to see this community come together in a place that’s so powerful,” Jessica Oasaca, an attendee, said.
Some compare the Day of the Dead to a family reunion, but loved ones who died are the guest of honor.
