Sugar skulls represent the departed soul of a loved one. They usually have the name written on the forehead and are placed on the ofrenda at your home or gravestone to honor the return of a particular spirit during the Dia de los Muertos celebrations. These days are about remembering the lives and the impact our departed loved ones had upon us. As well as keeping in mind that just because they’re no longer with us doesn’t mean that they’re entirely gone, because we keep them alive in our hearts and memories! And while sugar skulls can be decorated in all kinds of colors, when people decorate them themselves, the colors they use hold a special meaning. Red is used to represent our blood; orange to represent the sun; yellow to represent the Mexican marigold/death itself; purple is pain or richness; pink and white are hope, purity, and celebration; and finally, black represents the Land of the Dead. Come join us as we decorate sugar skulls to honor those no longer in our lives in preparation for Dia de los Muertos!
