Explanation: For example, if you have a friend who is latino celebrating Dia de los muertos. In your point of view, it’s something that you have never seen or done before but for the majority of latinos who celebrate this day we honor the dead (like family members, pets, babies, etc) by making an ofrenda with pictures of our loved ones and put the things that they loved on the ofrenda so they can take it with them to the land of the dead.
