SAN FRANCISCO â Day of the Dead preparations are underway across Mexico and parts of the Bay Area as families come together to build altars, light candles and honor the memories of their loved ones.Jean Pilas and Yenia Jiménez transformed the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts into a sanctuary of memories. With vibrant marigolds, sugar skulls, and candles, they are crafting an altar, a portal that bridges the realms of the living and the departed.
At the heart of this tradition lies the flor de cempasúchil, a bright orange flower known for its strong scent.'It is believed that our ancestors and loved ones come to our altars guided by that strong scent of that beautiful flower,' explained Martina Ayala, the director of the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts.
